In depth

Verdict

FASHION FREE is probably the most exposed in this but William Buick takes over from an apprentice and her only poor run this summer came when she failed to stay 1m2f at Doncaster and finished just behind Sobriquet. Parikarma has been knocking on the door and Far From A Ruby got off the mark at Kempton last month but Nothingbuttrouble is having a first run for John Quinn. Alyara is better than she showed at Carlisle and looks the pick of the remainder.
