In depth
Verdict
Amasova and Emirati Dirham filled the places in a handicap at Wolverhampton in December while Mahale went close over track and trip on her penultimate start. But OOH IS IT is less exposed and having found only an odds-on favourite too good at Newcastle recently, David Evans’ charge can open his account. Miss Bella Brand never threatened when runner-up at Kempton though still finished well ahead of Thomas Daniell while Crimson Sand drops down in trip on his reappearance having been gelded.
