In depth

Verdict

Eltham Palace made a promising debut at Kempton a year ago but hasn’t raced since. Gold Ribbon was fourth over this trip at Doncaster but weakened quickly next time at Newcastle so this looks a good opportunity for MIDRARR. She was only headed close home at Newbury last time behind a useful filly and holds Horn Of Plenty on that run. Miss Sligo may need the experience.
