Verdict

The lightly-raced Policy Breach is capable of winning this if in the mood but hasn’t looked like a horse to rely on while Miss Mobot has struggled since graduating to handicaps. So in an open contest, LILLIAN could be the answer. She has looked much more effective since being stepped up in trip and remains on a handy mark despite her recent solid victory at Newton Abbot. Beneficial Joe is consistent but finished behind Lillian last time and doesn’t look capable of reversing that form. Land Of Vic is hard to weigh up but the pick of her form entitles her to go close here, if she can bounce back from a poor performance at Worcester.
