Verdict
A runner-up over 7f here last time, Barwah beat Flinty Fell a neck over track and trip before that. She can figure back over today’s distance while Mockinbird finished closer on only her second start handicapping when placed at Epsom. But RUSSIAN FINALE is preferred as she won a maiden at Chepstow recently and there should be more to come from the Haggas filly on her handicap bow. Justice Lass continues to slip down the weights still looking for her first success in a handicap and High Honcho makes her debut for John Quinn having failed to win in Ireland.
