Skidby Mill won a lower grade handicap at Chelmsford last month before going close again last time. Pacolita drops in class but all five wins so far came over 7f and she hasn’t raced since September when second at Epsom while FIRST EXPERIENCE went close over 7f at Wolverhampton recently. But she has won over track and trip and Lee Carter’s mare should make a bold bid in this. Indigo Princess had been threatening to score before failing to stay 1m2f last time.
