Verdict
Outside Inside and Queen Penn are both looking to exploit a slide down the weights. The latter is preferred off her current mark after placing at Wolverhampton last time but BELL HEATHER may have the beating of both. Not beaten far in any of her five outings here last year, including on soft going, Pat Morris’ mare is taken to end a long losing run on Turf by landing this. Elenora Delight won at Kempton earlier in the year but debuts for new connections off a 4lb higher mark while Corked and Eponina would have preferred a faster surface as both return to the Turf.
