Verdict

Serenading has recorded all three victories so far at this venue and finished ahead of Jewel Maker when scoring here last month. Bringitonboris also won here recently with Makeen back in fifth while Firmament was successful over 7f at the track earlier. ZAAJIRAH (NAP) was denied a clear run at a crucial time when third at Kempton on her handicap debut and Roger Varian’s filly will likely prove a popular choice to get her head in front on this occasion.
