Verdict
Fashion Free has been beaten since winning over track and trip last week and remains penalised. Hunters Step has been raised 4lb for winning here last month while Broctune Red is usually thereabouts without winning and remains a maiden after 14 starts. Chinese Spirit never threatened when fourth here recently and SWITZER will need to improve on her latest fifth over course and distance. But that was the latter’s first attempt at a mile and her best effort so far - Iain Jardine’s filly has more scope than most of these.
