In depth

Verdict

La Rav won a higher grade contest over track and trip last month and is only 2lb higher. But IRIS BUD is expected to improve now handicapping after going close in a novices race here and the Gosden filly gets the vote fitted with headgear for this. Red Jasper landed a double on the all-weather before struggling in soft ground while Perfect Swiss has been in good form on Turf. Daniel Deronda was beaten only a length at Wolverhampton on his debut for David O’Meara’s yard and can race off the same mark today.
