Verdict

Molliana has been winning over hurdles in Jersey and remains 8lb higher than when successful at Chepstow last year. LAURA BULLION (NAP) is preferred as she found only one too good at Plumpton in a first-time tongue-tie on her debut for Olly Murphy’s in-form yard and should make a bold bid. A dual novice winner, Saturn 'n Silk refused to start at Bangor on her handicap debut while Whispering Gypsy is another novice winner well beaten at Stratford last time. Diamond Gait should be better for a recent outing and is back on a winning mark.
