Verdict

A tongue tie and a breathing operation clearly had the desired effect given MISTY WHISKY's strength at the finish when making a winning handicap debut at Uttoxeter last month and with this trip promising to suit, she can defy a penalty back in novice company. Getaweapon also won last time and looks the main threat unless there's support for Arbor Vitae.

  1. MISTY WHISKY
