In depth
Verdict
Another modest contest, but an eyecatching booking could be a serious pointer to the chance of Molly's Secret. Clive Cox's filly has hinted at coming to hand in recent starts and the booking of Keiren Fallon suggests it will be all systems go this time. Andromache will be a popular choice but she looks a little slow and could be vulnerable to one coming from off the pace, whilst Top Of The Class is as tough as teak but is another to look woefully one-paced. Beausejour put up a fair effort last time at Folkestone but may have to settle for a place at best.
