In depth
Verdict
A tricky end to proceedings given the lack of winning form on show, but GOTHIC CHICK made the most of her first start over today's trip when scoring at Folkestone last time. This looks less competitive and Alan McCabe's filly looks to have every chance of following up despite the obligatory 6lb rise. It's hard to make a strong case for any of the remainder, though Quadra Hop and Hootys Agogo at least made the frame on their latest starts while the regressive Green Warrior has the past form to figure.
