In depth
Verdict
Boavista, Lady Justice and Profiteer are the ones to focus on with the selection being Tim Easterby's Boavista. Twice-raced last season, and returning after nearly a year away from the track, her Nottingham fourth to Topeka reads very well in the context of this and she holds a good chance of winning. Profiteer, from the David Loder stable, was sixth in the Mill Reef Stakes when last seen on the racetrack. A repetition of that would make him a good thing, but he has clearly had problems and also runs in a first-time visor. Lady Justice, who showed promise at two, should be all the sharper for her Newbury return.
