      In depth

      Verdict

      Crotchet finally got her head back in front over track and trip earlier this month. She’s only gone up 3lb so has every chance of following up, though this is no straightforward task. Richenza probably still has a bit to prove over 7f but REBEL ASSAULT stays further and a repeat of her run behind the useful Move Swiftly at Goodwood last month would see her in the firing-line. There was talk of Angels stepping up to Listed company after winning twice in May but she’s not progressed and hasn’t run over a trip this far since her debut, though is still preferred to Oriental Lilly and Whatsthemessage.
