In depth
Verdict
Several have been threatening to get their heads in front though George Thomas finished a close-up fourth in a classified race at Wolverhampton and this is tougher. Illustrious Spirit placed in a maiden handicap at Bath having undergone wind surgery but Mercers is preferred on last month’s second over track and trip. LITTLE FLOOZIE looks favourably handicapped having finished well clear of the rest when beaten only a neck at Leicester on her handicap debut and she may prove the one to side with off her current mark.
