Verdict

Spirit Of The Bay opened her account with a victory at Kempton but is 5lb higher while Fashion Free has been raised 4lb after winning at Nottingham. Lead Story finished runner-up over 7f at Haydock but Top Class Angel disappointed at Newmarket last time. VISALA (NAP) should be sharper for last month’s reappearance and handicap debut at Newbury and, with an apprentice taking 5lb off her back today and the Haggas yard in flying form, she gets the vote to come out best.
