In depth

Verdict

MISTY WHISKY has come on in leaps and bounds since shedding her maiden tag over timber at Uttoxeter. She was receiving plenty of weight in a Listed handicap at Kempton last time but has enough about her to be competitive in this racing off level weights against her own sex. Belle De Manech has her ground but a bit to find at the weights. Little River Bay looks to have solid claims, however, arriving on a four-timer but Anythingforlove tackles this longer trip for the first time and Sandymount Rose is probably better over 3m. Little Mo has travelled down from the Borders and has had wind surgery since completing a double while Uptown Lady isn’t out of this but Rayna's World has become hard to place.
