In depth
Verdict
LORNA COLE finally won a handicap having tumbled down the weights when successful at Windsor last week. She carries a penalty but drops in class and today’s opposition inspire little confidence. Urban Highway is fitted with headgear having struggled since scoring at Brighton last year while Aquadabra won over track and trip last summer but is 6lb higher on this occasion. Cool Strutter placed over 6f last time but has only won once since 2016 and Cox Bazar hasn’t won anywhere since leaving France in 2018.
