      Verdict

      Contingency Fee was beaten at Brighton having won over track and trip before that while Fairmac remains 5lb higher than when scoring at Ayr last month. A winner at Chepstow two runs ago, Balearic struggled over 1m4f last time but Mustazeed has placed in both outings since scoring at Yarmouth. The remainder step up in distance and, of those, CAMBRIDGESHIRE (NAP) gave the impression this extra distance would suit when third at Nottingham on her handicap debut. Martyn Meade’s unexposed filly may prove the one to side with in this.
