Verdict

This is the trip for VIKING MISTRESS (NAP) judged on her wide-margin victory at Worcester and Martin Keighley’s mare may well defy an 11lb hike in the weights. Heaven Scent is probably on a fair mark at present but has a poor strike-rate while Miss Maiden Over needs to bounce back from a poor run at Killarney, though better ground will help. Mystic Sky weakened quickly on her reappearance at Fakenham but will have needed that and did win off a 3lb higher mark just over a year ago.
