In depth

Verdict

Outcast scored over the course and distance on her reappearance but hasn't made the expected progress. Campachoochoo made a winning debut here last summer but has looked very moderate in subsequent starts while Porfin's only placed effort in 11 starts came on Turf. LUCKY AVA completed a double at Lingfield in February and has continued to run well from her raised mark. She led for a long way in a Class 4 handicap at Ascot last time and can make all here. Brazen Belle pops up every now and then and is on her lowest-ever mark so has to be respected.
