Verdict
A big field for modest prize money but Fool To Cry and Mighty Meg could both figure if ready after a break. Dylan's Sea Song was running well prior to a lacklustre effort at Ffos Las last month and last week’s surprise Huntingdon winner Malina Ocarina is also interesting, despite the penalty. MISS HARRIETT may well have won at Taunton in January had she jumped the last better. That was a huge step in the right direction from Polly Gundry’s mare, though the drop back in distance is a slight concern. Amelia's Dance was second off a 2lb higher mark over track and trip on Boxing Day so also warrants a second look.
