Verdict

John Potts had done all his winning at this track but it's over a year since he last got his head in front, while Valley Tiger looks to be treading water off his current mark. Count Ceprano is tempting with a recent run under his belt having slipped down the weights and Edgeworth's recent second at Lingfield looks to be stronger form than Ollon's latest third at this track. However, STRAWBERRYMYSTIQUE is on a fair mark for her handicap debut having shown steady progress in maidens and today's extra furlong can see her off the mark.
