In depth
Verdict
Mammee Bay, who just managed to get the better of the odds on Measure Up at Wolverhampton, looks capable of plenty of improvement. The runner-up already had a handicap mark of 74 and they finished some way clear of the third that day, so that looks a solid effort. He may have most to fear the consistent Miss Gigi, who has turned in several good efforts in defeat. She will ceratinly find this easier than when tackling the likes of Sharpcut and Timing on her last two outings. Solomon's Mine and Affray are others to consider in an open event.
