Verdict
Honcho takes on tougher rivals having won at Salisbury last time and Penny Dreadful is penalised for landing a Class 5 event here a week ago. Effusive is also upped a grade after a recent third while Eleusis has posted her best efforts this year over shorter trips. Hope And Faith was a losing favourite at Lingfield last time but has plenty of scope for improvement, as does MILADY. The latter won her maiden at Lingfield and wasn't beaten far when fifth at Ascot on her handicap bow - she looks up to landing this with further progress expected.
