Verdict

Grimley Girl reversed earlier Ludlow running with Midtech Valentine here last month but there may not be much between the pair today. Mo Chailin won at Catterick in March but appeared to appreciate the step up to 2m4f last time at Fakenham. Ginger Fizz is not out of this but Miss Sassypants may need this and Miss Estela has been doing her best work on softer going. LADY PERSEPHONE (NAP) was behind Mo Chailin over 2m5f at Ludlow two runs ago but is a bit better off the weights here and left that form well behind when dotting up at Wincanton. Fast ground looks key to Alan King's mare, who can follow up.
