In depth
Verdict
Pacific Salt has finished closer of late though over longer trips than this while Mochalov went close in a maiden at Kempton last time. Bubbly is preferred on her second in a handicap at Wolverhampton but CLASSIC CHARM was placed in a tougher contest over track and trip recently when finishing in front of Beepeecee. The runner-up has boosted the form since and Dean Ivory’s filly should make a bold bid. Philamundo went close over 7f here earlier and may prove best of the rest in first-time headgear.
