In depth
Verdict
Soft going may have been responsible for Olympicus running below par at Nottingham though Flight Of Angels seemed to have no excuse at Redcar last time. EXPERT WITNESS opened her account with a victory over track and trip and can go in again raised only 2lb. Measured Moments failed to get a clear run at Chelmsford and is preferred to the likes of English Spirit and Star Of Epsom.
