This wide open handicap can go the way of Mizzle, with Silca Key and Ella Y Rossa others to consider. The selection is from a yard in good form and after disappointing in two runs for Godolphin last year, she stepped-up on her first run for Mark Johnston when chasing home Ridgewell here last time. If she improves again she should be tough to beat from a good draw. Silca Key is another filly from a yard in good form but she was disappointing when finishing down the field in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Ella Y Rossa is returning to form and chased home Cherri Fosfate here last time but there are still doubts over whether this is her best trip. Beau Sancy is a course and distance winner with solid place claims, but Mizzle looks a filly on the upgrade and she can get her head in front today.
