In depth
Verdict
Follow Your Heart has disappointed in both starts since a close third here last month but Giogiobbo hasn’t been beaten far the last twice over this trip. The booking of Harry Davies for CAMACHESS catches the eye as she enjoys a 5lb turnaround in the weights with Rainbow Mirage than when beaten by that one at Kempton. The Cola Kid is also much better off than when beaten under a length by Mostallim at Newcastle with Alablaq another having claims in a tricky opener.
