Verdict
Terra Mitica won over today’s trip at Salisbury but is 6lb higher while Persist found one too good at Carlisle. Course and distance winner Qabilah was beaten carrying a penalty at Leicester and makes her handicap debut along with SHAARA. The latter defied a penalty to beat a subsequent winner when successful at Haydock and the Gosdens’ filly may prove the one to side with in a tricky contest.
