Verdict

RASTACAP made all to win over today’s trip at Newcastle on her latest start. Mark Johnston’s filly is penalised for that success but finished more than two lengths in front of the runner runner-up Chief Justice and the latter is by no means certain to turn that form around despite the revised terms. Lady Anjorica should have done better at Ripon last time though still finished ahead of Lady Willpower while Charmed Pearl has shown little so far in a couple of starts in Ireland.
