In depth
Verdict
Imperial Butterfly bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins though is upped in class and raised a further 4lb. CONSERVATOIRE (NAP) is also looking to land a treble but she’s been winning tougher handicaps than this on the Turf. William Haggas has an impressive strike rate here and his filly looks the one to side making her debut on the all-weather along with Shanghai Rock. The latter won over 6f at Windsor last month while Pockley has been running well over 6f here and races over this longer trip for the first time.
