In depth
Verdict
A winner at Goodwood on her reappearance, TULIP FIELDS shrugged off a 6lb rise to win cosily at Newmarket last time and beat a subsequent winner in the process. Mark Johnston’s filly looks worth sticking with in this. Bella Vita returns to 1m2f for the first time since landing a double at Salisbury last season though looks high enough in the weights and Dean Street Doll is preferred partnered by Ryan Moore having slid down the handicap. Be More runs over this far for the first time while Asiaaf won a novices race over today’s trip at Goodwood and makes her handicap debut.
