In depth
Verdict
VAGUELY SPANISH is the obvious choice with the rest of the field failing to inspire much confidence. She bids for a hat-trick off a 4lb higher mark and already has a verdict over Softly She Treads. Kirtling finished a lot closer last time and has scope for further progress while Night's Watch is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Lingfield at the start of the year. Robin Hood was due to run here yesterday.
