In depth
Verdict
Woulduadamandeveit will probably find today’s going too quick but is still preferred to stable companion Tea Time Fred. Wilde Spirit has gone close a few times but is now 0-17 while course winner Frankincense faces a further step up in trip. MIDNIGHT AURORA was let down by her jumping at Huntingdon after skating up on good ground at Plumpton six days earlier. She’s had a month off and may be ready to resume winning ways.
