A tricky fillies handicap that could fall to Bird Over, with Limit and Midcap two obvious dangers. This lightly raced daughter of Bold Edge doesn't look badly treated for her handicap debut. she was most impressive when taking her maiden here in October. The runner up has gone well since so the form is rock solid and she will be difficult to beat this afternoon. Limit disappointed at Beverley last time but seems a better horse on this track and must have a chance off today's mark. Meanwhile Midcap is from a yard in form and on the pick of last season's form looks well treated. If she handles this surface she should make a bold bid. Recent winner Manic may prove best of the others, but on this occasion Bird Over is taken to score a second victory.
