In depth
Verdict
Berryessa is burdened with a double penalty as she returns to novice company and a couple of these are weighted to beat her. Nomorecalls is one and he made all over course and distance last time but may well end up providing a good tow round for POETIC IMAGINATION today. The latter makes a quick reappearance having won by a couple of lengths in a handicap over 6f here during the week and Archie Watson’s filly can go in again. Taurean Gold and Dramatic Voice have little chance on these terms.
