In depth
Verdict
A low-grade handicap to round off proceedings. Talking Tough was staying on when a close fourth behind the prolific Eglish over 6f a fortnight ago and holds Lady Zell, Seven Worlds, Accessory and Scholastic on that run. BRISEUSE DE COEUR couldn't go the early pace over the minimum three weeks ago but was going on nicely at the finish and, with the longer trip certain to suit, can make a successful handicap debut. Funny Little Ways was sent to Kempton for a handicap last time but found 6f too short and this looks her trip.
