In depth
Verdict
Bartat won at Bath off a higher mark last term though Spurofthemoment is preferred fitted with a tongue-tie having placed in both starts since returning to action. Princess Mayson found one too good over 7f at Yarmouth last time and Broughtons Compass finished closer over the same distance at Chelmsford. Come On Girl drops in class and can figure but CRAIGBURN won at Thirsk last season and, after finishing runner-up off today’s mark at Yarmouth on her reappearance, may just edge this representing Tom Clover’s in-form yard.
