Verdict

Convallaria has still yet to win a race after 12 starts but Geoff Wragg's mare came close to opening her account in a handicap here last month and she has to be respected but preference is for My Mirasol, who gets the vote with General Feeling rated the pick of the remainder. The selection has been running consistently well of late, including when placed off today's mark in her last two starts, and Don Cantillon's filly is taken to gain a deserved success this evening. Time To Regret ran creditably on his reappearance here earlier this month and has claims if able to build on that effort, while Casablanca Minx is on a long losing sequence and that is a run that may well continue here. The handicapper has finally relented and dropped Gifted Heir 2lbs but Alan Bailey's colt may need more help and a bigger threat is likely to come from recent course and distance winner General Feeling, although he has gone up 3lbs since that success. This is another moderate contest and My Mirasol is taken to resume winning ways here.
