It's hard to be confident about anything here but JUST MANDY might be the one ahead of St Ignatius and Miss Kitty Grey. Richard Fahey has had a few winners lately and this filly's best single piece of form came over today's trip. She showed the surface isn't a problem when an admittedly modest third on her sole start here, so with conditions possibly in her favour a solid display can be anticipated. St Ignatius is rated the best of those with a mark, one of 66, but this drop back to the minimum has to be a concern as he's raced mainly over seven. That said, he has been keen and therefore could find some improvement for an increased pace so if he goes on the Fibresand he'll be involved. Miss Kitty Grey should go on the Fibresand on breeding and having been second last time rates a player, so she's of more interest than Blades Harmony who has form here but might just be outpaced dropping in trip. Fine And Dandie has attracted a little support on both starts here without offering much in return so whilst it'll be interesting to see if the money comes again he's opposable with Killing Moon who might well improve for visiting Southwell but needs to. This is a poor race but a decent chance for Just Mandy to shed her maiden tag.
