In depth
Verdict
Sesame was placed over 7f here last time and should go well again if staying the longer distance but SMASHING LASS has improved since winning a seller at Catterick in July and she gets the vote in a weak handicap stepping up in trip on the back of a second at Newcastle. The remainder are harder to fancy though Kenoughty was placed at Nottingham in between a couple of poor efforts and looks best of them.
