In depth

Verdict

SING BERTIE posted his best effort so far when beaten less than a length over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton - he may prove good enough in a weak handicap. Milldean Panther finished closer over 5f on his penultimate start and wears a visor for the first time while Swiss Chime’s earlier success came on the Fibresand at Southwell. Valley Belle went close over 6f at Kempton in between more modest efforts while Sepahi slides further down the handicap.
