Verdict

Poyle Vinnie has been in fine form over the minimum trip but has been raised a further 6lb for winning here last time. Solar Spirit scored over 6f at Catterick recently, while We'll Deal Again bounced back in better company at Thirsk but in heavy ground. Le Laitier popped-up over track and trip on his latest start and and Diamond Blue is usually thereabouts without winning. MILLY'S SECRET NAP ran as well as could be expected when fourth in a Class 3 sprint at Hamilton last time but this is more her level so Ann Duffield's filly gets the vote.
