In depth

Verdict

Troubled Soul had Song Saa and Hollow Bay well behind when second last time at Warwick. Yes I Did has scope after beating two rivals at Fontwell, though she’ll stay further than this. Emerald Rose arrives off the back of a win at Market Rasen while Treaty Girl will have learnt plenty from her third at Huntingdon but Still Believing looks thoroughly exposed. DAWNIERIVER (NAP) was beaten half-a-length by Queen Spud when chasing a four-timer at Fakenham but she’s a couple of pounds better off here and may be capable of picking up the winning thread again with the drop in distance and quicker going in her favour.
