Minnie Escape remains unpredictable but had one of her going days when scoring at Stratford on her return to action. She’s 7lb higher today while Chinwag has had wind surgery and is fitted with a tongue-tie having disappointed at Chepstow in October. Molliana won at the same Chepstow fixture but struggled last time while headgear is applied to AMELIA’S DANCE for this. But the latter posted her best effort so far when runner-up at Uttoxeter last month to Misty Whisky, who has since won again and Robert Walford’s mare gets the vote. Chez Castel Mail, Freddie Darling and Bourbali all make their handicap debuts and may finish closer.
