In depth
Verdict
A runner-up over 6f at Brighton, MAYFAIR STROLL makes her handicap debut. A half-sister to winner over further, including the smart Master The World, she should appreciate this extra distance and can land an ordinary handicap. Vaxholm looks the main threat on a recent close-up fourth at Beverley unless the likes of Smooth Talking, Double Denim and Sir Randolph show a big improvement handicapping for the first time.
