Verdict
Hattons Hill rattled up a five-timer here last year, including this race, but he’s been pulled up in all three starts this term and has a welter burden to shoulder again. Massini's Lady won at Wetherby in February but was behind Moorstown and NELLY LA RUE at Ayr subsequently. Victor Thompson’s mare won here next time and only weakened approaching the last when out of the handicap at Sedgefield later so should go close today racing off her correct mark. Gibbstown looks held on the form book but Onderun is no forlorn hope and Sounds Of Italy’s trainer, Michael Scudamore, has mounted several successful raids here in the past.
