Verdict

Red Alert beat RUBY COTTAGE, Real Estate and Top Boy here 11 days ago but the runner-up comes out best at the weights today. All but one of her seven career starts have been on this track and she can record a second win though this is an extremely competitive affair with no less than six previous course and distance winners. We're Reunited is one and Airshow is another, though closely matched with Sarah's Verse. Heer We Go Again won at Wolverhampton a month ago but was earlier well behind Cherish here with Tony Carroll’s filly bidding for a fifth straight victory under Mollie Phillips. Chipstead is on a hat-trick so also commands respect.
