    Verdict

    The handicapper hasn’t over-reacted to Poyle Charlotte’s victories at Doncaster and Chepstow and she deserves a crack at this higher level. ELYSIUM DREAM (NAP) heads in the opposite direction having contested a Class 3 last week at Goodwood. She was second in an even better contest at Newmarket before that and a drop back to 7f here will suit. Black Sails didn’t show much on her first run for David Simcock while Aqua Libre is 5lb out of the handicap and vulnerable against younger rivals.
