Verdict

Skidby Mill won over track and trip last time but this is much tougher and Lady Marl is preferred in this grade having also won over course and distance on her penultimate start. The 7f winner White Russian may do better with today's reappearance under her belt while Queen Aggie is usually thereabouts without being quite good enough and a similar outcome is expected today. ATLANTIC AFFAIR missed most of last year and has dropped 9lb in the weights since returning - she may well be up to landing this off her current mark.
