In depth

Verdict

Caso Do Lago had been threatening to win a race before getting off the mark here a couple of weeks ago though that was over 7f. Amygdala has been running really well and if handling the surface has to be a threat, a remark that also applies to EVER YOURS. She hadn't shown much before a massively improved effort at Tipperary and with just a 1lb rise to contend with and Conor King's claim a bonus she can go one better. Elegant Peace has shown some ability on Turf and makes her handicap debut from what could prove a fair mark.
