Verdict

ANNA MEDICI (NAP) posted her best effort yet when runner-up at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut and with an apprentice taking 5lb off her back today, Sir Mark Prescott’s filly can open her account. Royal Peace also gets help from the saddle today with Rossa Ryan on board and she was placed at Chepstow last month, while Black Truffle is a rare winner nowadays but can figure off his current mark. Kiribati continues to slide down the weights without looking like taking advantage.
