Some potentially nice mares’ in this and Emmas Joy already successful around here over a shorter trip will enjoy this ease in grade after finding a Sandown Grade 2 too tough last time out. She’ll be hard to beat but Cill Anna may just have the tools to do so wearing a tongue-tie for the first time having a liking for a test of stamina like this last time at Wincanton. Course bumper winner Rose Of Aghaboe paid for trying to take it to a decent sort last time and she’s better than a well beaten second showed. Tara Niece and Granny’s Secret are worth noting although the most interesting to keep an eye on will be Notawordofalie as this is her run for a mark.
