Verdict

Red Velour has come up short in handicaps of late but may not find this much easier. A few of these look capable of improving past her including recent Windsor runner-up PAST FORGETTING. The latter gets a speculative vote but Rembrandt Van Rijn, who showed promise on his debut at Newbury, and Sagua La Grande are also likely improvers. Glorious Sun and Cry Joy could figure stepping up in trip while Spacelab and Cerutty are newcomers to note.
