In depth
Verdict
Plenty with claims in a competitive opener. Touch Me won maiden over 7f here last month and Sky Ballerina scored over the same distance at Wolverhampton. Tisbutadream won a lower grade handicap over track and trip and is upped 7lb while Washington Blue was ahead of both Pobbles and AFRICAN BEAT when winning at Kempton. But the latter was not beaten far despite meeting trouble in-running in the home straight and John Gosden’s filly is fancied to turn the tables on today’s revised terms.
