Verdict

CAITYS JOY was a very good second to the useful Briery Belle at Huntingdon last month on her first start since 2014 and should come on a bundle for the run. There is the possibility that she may 'bounce' but that's a risk worth taking here as that recent form rates the best available. Mozo disappointed last time but her two previous runs put her bang in the picture in this relatively low-key contest. It would be no surprise to see her go close and she's another Pipe inmate requiring close attention in the market. Lady Persephone found Listed company beyond her the last day, will appreciate this notable drop in grade and merits shortlist inclusion.
