In depth

Verdict

MICKIE has to concede weight all round but she's already beaten the consistent Floral Spinner comfortably over this course and distance and her second to The New One in a Grade 2 at Warwick has been well advertised - she's impossible to oppose. Floral Spinner is probably the one for forecast-backers, though there is probably more to come from Wincanton third K Island. Polly Hopper is likely to be the pick of the two newcomers while Shine In Time has hinted at ability and looks best of the rest.
