Verdict
Crystal Deauville won at Brighton a fortnight ago and should figure again with an apprentice’s allowance negating a 5lb rise. But HAYLAH gets another chance having started favourite at Brighton last week before finding one too good. Kodina makes her handicap debut having finished closer at Wolverhampton back in February and Sandown maiden winner Swing Out Sister should be winning a handicap this year and is preferred to Knockout Blow.
