Verdict

Count Otto failed to cope with a penalty last time having won at Kempton earlier when beating City Gent. The latter has subsequently won a handicap over track and trip with Montague well behind and has been raised 10lb for his trouble. Helvetian lowers his sights on his return to action having slid down the weights last year but Frankie Dettori won on THE MUMS last year and is back in the plate today after John Gosden’s filly went close in a tight three-way finish here last month and she gets another chance.
