      In depth

      Verdict

      Innocently just held on for victory at York a fortnight ago and will need a bit more to defy another rise in the weights. Suzi's Connoisseur also returned a narrow-margin winner at Chester in June and makes her handicap debut today along with MAHLAH. The latter found the competition too hot in the Group 3 Princess Margaret at Ascot in June when racing too freely in the early stages. But if settling better under Ryan Moore today she should go very close. Beverley winner Tweety Pie makes more appeal then low grade handicap winner Touch The Clouds of the remaining pair.
