In depth
Verdict
The weaker of the two divisions here and TEAMtalk preference is given to Christina Sanchez who has been slow to come to hand but did not run too badly at Lingfield last time out. She ran on that occasion as though a step up in trip would suit and her trainer has an excellent record here. Mezuzah showed he had ability when finishing a close up fifth in a decent Newmarket maiden last month. Geoff Wragg's charges invariably come on for a run and a solid showing is expected. Perfect Night is a well-bred newcomer who should show well for her in-form trainer while Down Memory Lane has to be respected from a stable and owner who do well at this track.
