        In depth

        Verdict

        Stamina at a premium here and Phamedic, who will be wearing blinkers for the first time, may be good enough. Her second to Nuit Sombre reads well enough after that one's effort at York in the week and providing the headgear works she should prove too good for her rivals. Platinum Charmer, a half-brother to a 10-furlong winner, should prove well suited by this trip and can make the frame, while Grand will be more at home in this company having face a hopeless task last time.
