      Verdict

      A dreadful seller which MISS ADVENTURE and Richard Johnson should win easily if Phil Middleton’s mare reproduces her best form. It’s very difficult to find much positive to say about any of the others, though Quimba is possibly capable of better than she’s shown so far. Geni Johnson was placed in a handicap at Newton Abbot last month but reverted to type next time at Worcester.
