In depth
Verdict
REMIX makes most appeal given she escapes a penalty for last Saturday's victory at Doncaster. Ian Williams' filly can follow up in this similar company. Claude Monet posted a better effort on the Polytrack last time which suggests he'll be taking advantage of a tumble down the weights soon and Archelao can also figure off his current mark. The remainder are harder to fancy unless The Guru Of Gloom proves suited by today's step up in trip.
