In depth
Verdict
Annie Day just got the better of GIULIETTA when winning at Warwick last month but the latter was making her handicap debut and, with further improvement expected, Dan Skelton’s grey is taken to reverse running in this. Passing Kate prevailed by only a nose when successful at Leicester recently and steps up in trip raised 5lb while Lemon Ice is fitted with blinkers on her reappearance and handicap debut.
