In depth
Verdict
Plenty have scope for improvement including GREYCIOUS ANNA, who appreciated the step up to today’s trip when winning at Redcar and makes her handicap debut. Chelmsford runner-up Caernarfon and Pureness are other handicap newcomers to note while Claretina was narrowly beaten at Haydock last time and Transfer Affection is preferred to stablemate Snow Girl. Day Member and Misty Blues step up from 6f with a chance in an open contest.
