In depth
Verdict
Many of these are looking exposed by now, so it may pay to side with the improving PIEDITA . Sir Mark Prescott's three-year-old has progressed with each step up in trip she has taken, and got off the mark in a maiden handicap at Beverley last time out in good style. She's up 6lb but didn't enjoy a clear run that day and has more to offer over these staying trips. Ablaze , another filly, steps up in trip here but should go close if proving she stays, and while it's unusual to see Bamako Du Chatelet without headgear he has also been running well recently.
