        mid-division, not clear run over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong

        In depth

        Verdict

        Mykonos St John carries 5lb extra bidding for a hat-trick but Brighton winner Alezan has a rise in the weights negated by an apprentice’s allowance. Velvet Vision returns from a lay-off with a chance off her current mark but Casina Di Notte hasn’t won on the all-weather in 19 attempts. SPIRITOFTHENORTH is taken to open his account as he was narrowly beaten by a horse now rated 85 in novice company at Beverley and can race off a lower mark back on the all-weather.
