Verdict
Repetitio could have more to offer on the Flat after getting off the mark at Chepstow but this is a much tougher assignment. Vindolanda won a very competitive handicap over course and distance at the start of the month and is now 2-2 here. She shouldn’t be far away again despite a 4lb rise but Air Force Amy never seems to run two races alike and she has her stamina to prove. SPACE WALK won his maiden here last summer and later placed over this trip at Sandown and Chelmsford. Staying on when third over 1m4f at Kempton on his return to action, he’s been lightly raced and should be ready to strike again now. Junderstand and Motivate Me are also worth a second look in an open-looking handicap.
