In depth
Verdict
Night Trade won over track and trip in July but looks to be a few pounds too high at present. Bouncy Bouncy is better over the minimum distance while Bella Ophelia appears to have lost her way a little. Shes Rosie didn't stay a mile last time, however, and should figure while Goodwood third Fillionaire, Blackdown Fair and Sparking could all be given a chance if at their best. SUPREME SPIRIT has been lightly campaigned this year but ran a lot better than her final placing suggests at Wolverhampton last time and is starting to come down the weights again. Peter Makin's C&D winner could be the value here.
