A tricky finale in which
Mitchum has a more obvious chance than his form figures suggest. Two runs back from an absence, perfect conditions, an attractive weight and a jockey who gets the best from him are all reasons to be optimistic. Although a big run is anticipated,
POPSIES JOY is marginally preferred. Her sole success came in 2016 following two runs back from a winter break. Tim Easterby's filly finished a fair fifth at Beverley last time and her headgear goes back on. This stiff track plays to her strengths and off a good mark she can take this.
Cool Strutter and
Crazy Tornado look the pick of the rest.
