Verdict
Another competitive handicap. Quick Change won over track and trip here last year and looked to be coming to hand at York. Five Towns caught the eye coming from off the pace over 7f at the same track and will strip fitter here while Quantum Light found only one too good at Wolverhampton last month. Chorus Line overcame a tardy start and trouble in-running to get up close home at Leicester but ALICE KNYVET is just as interesting. The Charltons’ filly makes her handicap debut off the back of a very encouraging reappearance in a hot maiden at Windsor.
