It was soft going when Lasting Legacy won over a mile at Pontefract recently but Myristica returned a convincing winner over track and trip last time and can figure again despite a 7lb rise. MS GHANDI (NAP) came up just short when sent off favourite at Newmarket on her handicap debut and first outing of the year. Roger Varian’s filly will have come on for that and can go one better in this. Life On The Rocks is upped in distance now handicapping for the first time and makes most appeal of the remainder.
