Race preview

Mistral Nell has shown enough ability to suggest a big run could be on the cards after her second at Fakenham last month, but she was put up 2lb for that and carrying top-weight will be tough. Just Jess is the only course winner in this field and she could go well, but MULLINS CROSS is narrowly preferred. A winner last time out at Bangor in a conditional jockeys' race, she races off the same mark and has the added benefit of Brian Hughes in the saddle.
