In depth

Verdict

Soft ground could swing things in the favour of DUTCH DESTINY, who scored on similar going at Haydock earlier and drops down in class after a poor effort at Newmarket. Courier narrowly beat Wowcha over track and trip last month with Dutch Mist and Specialv further behind and had earlier beaten Honeysuckle Lil at Carlisle. She also drops back down in class while Posh Bounty will handle the underfoot conditions but is penalised for a recent win at Ffos Las. Flowing Clarets will find this tougher than the seller she won at Thirsk recently.
