In depth
Verdict
This looks wide open with most handicapping for the first time. Dora Penny won over the minimum trip here in May while Burning Bush failed to figure on an earlier attempt at today’s distance. Roccozaam finished closer over 6f last time and has been gelded subsequently while Adatorio and Raneen are others with a shout. But WHISPERING WINDS failed to get a clear run when third at Chepstow and she gets a speculative vote upped in trip with Oisin Murphy’s presence suggesting a big run is expected.
