Mitcd must go close if producing the sort of form that saw her down the heavily backed Icanmotor here over 2m4f last month. Her ability to handle this shorter trip has already been proven around Musselburgh and this race won't take much winning despite a 7lb rise. However, the increasingly well handicapped BELL WEIR catches the eye in this grade (won a Class 3 event at Hexham in 2014), and any sustained market support for the Ken Slack trained grey should be followed.
