Race Verdict
Andrew Balding has his string in good order at present and it might be worth taking a chance on his HINT OF MINT here. Although he has failed to build on his juvenile promise in two starts so far this year, he still has time on his side and the drop to a mile could help. Operettist has disappointed on her two most recent outings but it is much too early to write here off and she is respected here along with My Boy Ginger and Mr Udagawa.
Selection: Hint Of Mint
Danger: Operettist
Alternative: My Boy Ginger
