Verdict
Good Impression just about shades this on the formbook but doesn't looks progressive and is faced by rivals with possible improvement to come at this modest level now sent handicapping. Demurrer may just need the run, Madam Dragonfly and Willingforshilling have yet to reveal any real shards of ability and Telltale, although gradually improving, has yet to tackle further than 7f. All of which leaves OAKLEY MIMOSA, unplaced on all three starts. However, all were in decent Newmarket maidens when sent off at massive prices and she gets in here off a useful mark for her handicap bow and is worth chancing. Market support would strengthen confidence.
