Several with claims in a modest mares’ handicap but Betty's Belle is not really improving. April’s Ffos Las winner Sadie Hill goes on the shortlist, however, while FOR GINA has been getting closer. Lucy Wadham’s five-year-old gets the nod with cheekpieces added. Lady Mendoza still has time on her side and Dancingontheedge was only beaten a neck over course and distance four weeks ago and is just a pound higher.
