In depth
Verdict
Carmela Soprano won over track and trip back in February when beating Thunderoad but finished tailed off back here last time. BROUGHTONS PEACE opened her account when producing a late surge to score over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton last week and a chance is taken she stays this far. Bronze River finished closer at Yarmouth recently while Devorgilla and Decoding are among the least exposed.
