In depth
Verdict
A low-grade contest in which the TEAMtalk verdict goes to Rose D'Or in the hope that as a lightly raced type there is more improvement to come. John Dunlop's filly ran promisingly over this trip when a staying-on third in a fair maiden at Nottingham last month and is best in at the weights so should take plenty of beating in a weak affair. Titian Lass has proved disappointing and was taking advantage of a low rating when scrambling home in a maiden handicap last time. This looks tougher while A Woman In Love has been below her best since landing a similar event over course and distance in August.
