Legal Art won a lower grade race at Newcastle last time to open her account. Binky Blue is not badly weighted but has recorded all four wins to date over 7f while the lightly raced Carolinae drops back in distance after a better effort over 1m2f at Newbury. Tabla won her maiden here but ran poorly last time and SKIDBY MILL is preferred. She landed a double over track and trip earlier this year and now back on a winning mark, Laura Mongan’s charge could go close.
