Verdict
EMILY DAVISON scored over track and trip on her only previous visit to this venue. Heather Dalton's filly can go in again off a 2lb higher mark in a poor handicap. Fujin was a close-up fourth at Hamilton last week but Big City Boy never looked like catching Slingsby when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time. However, Red Invader was placed at Chepstow the last time he raced over 5f while Diamondsinthesky finished ahead of Bubbly Bailey when fourth at Lingfield back in February.
