In depth
Verdict
Ragtime Dancer opened her account with a win on the Polytrack back in June and makes her handicap debut. CIARAS COOKIE is more exposed but seems impervious to ground conditions having won on fast going at Yarmouth in July and scoring on a soft surface at Brighton last time - she can defy top weight. Envisioning struggled in testing ground at Windsor last time and makes his handicap debut along with Picture Postcard. Stealing Thunder posted his best effort so far when third on the all-weather but Miss Van Gogh is getting closer.
