In depth

Verdict

Island Hideaway won a maiden over a mile here before finding only one too good on her handicap debut and steps up in distance along with Glorious Caesar and Kempton runner-up Rajguru. FAR ROCKAWAY also ran over a mile last time despite going very close over 1m2f at Chelmsford before that when separating a couple of John Gosden runners. The Haggas filly will appreciate the return to today’s trip and can open her account. Itsallaboutluck has also run over 1m2f before but never figured and has something to prove on that showing.
