In depth
Verdict
A very open handicap that could rest between Heidelburgh, Oh So Rosie and Tourmalet, with the latter chosen to land the spoils. Mick Channon's filly has not seen the winners enclosure since June last year but has run some gallant races in defeat, the pick of which was at Wolverhampton in October when just touched off by Spark Up, with today¿s rival Heidelburgh back in sixth. That is as good as any other form on show here today so Tourmalet must have a great chance. Heidel burgh was some six lengths behind the selection but should get a lot closer at the revised weights. Oh So Rosie has had a busy season without too much success, but is starting to look very well treated now and on her best form certainly merits respect. Tropical Coral is another that could run well, despite the big weight, but after careful consideration Tourmalet looks to have the best credentials.
