In depth
Verdict
Came From The Dark beat Garrus by a neck in a handicap at Newbury recently though the latter re-opposes on better terms. Arecibo also won a handicap when successful over track and trip last month but finished behind runner-up Judicial in last year’s renewal while Lazuli won a Group 3 at Newbury last term and is another to consider. But a chance is taken on the front-running EMARAATY ANA, third in the Abernant over 6f here last month having led for most of the way and having only her second outing over the minimum trip today. Aljady may prove best of the remaining trio.
