Verdict

Lustrous heads the weights and is not out of this on a recent placed effort at Doncaster when ahead of Turning The Table. At the other end of the handicap, Luna Mare is upped in class and distance after finishing second at Ayr on her handicap debut. St Mary's and The Begum are closely matched on latest running over 1m2f at Ffos Las while Elysian Fields is not badly treated on her earlier win at Kempton. Colonial Classic never figured in Listed company last time but had won at Goodwood before that and has claims back in a handicap while TIPTREE (NAP) makes her handicap debut. She’s been competing in pattern company so far this year and a repeat of an earlier third to Fireglow, rated 105, on the July course here would see Luca Cumani’s filly go very close.
