        tracked leaders, ridden 2f out, kept on one pace final furlong

        In depth

        Verdict

        Several with claims in this but NATALEENA can be excused a below par effort on soft going last time and gets another chance having scored over 1m6f at Redcar before that. Third at Thirsk recently, Smart Lass would prefer some cut in the ground but Iolani finished in front of Nearly There when scoring at Thirsk a fortnight ago and is only 2lb higher. One Last Hug had the measure of both Lizzie Loch and Hugoigo when second over track and trip a week ago and is also preferred to Three Castles with headgear applied today.
