In depth
Verdict
KARUGA's first attempt at 6f resulted in a victory at Windsor where she won with something in hand despite the narrow winning margin. She may well follow up off a 4lb higher mark. Triggerlo won his maiden at this track under today's apprentice and this is easier than his recent task at Ascot, while Dine Out and Galilee Chapel are others to consider making their handicap debuts. Bath winner Chandigarh is dropped in class and may finish closer as a consequence and Gold Coin should be suited by the shorter trip as she's has shown early pace over 7f.
