Verdict

Lovers' Gait has won twice at Bath this year but an outside draw can be hard to overcome on the round course here. Kaleidoscopic has also fared badly with her starting position but Newmarket third Katniss Everdeen has stall one and connections of ROSE GREY can have no complaints either. Well backed when placed twice in novice company at Windsor last month, the Crisfords’ filly can make a winning start in handicaps. Spring Glow looked to be getting the hang of things at Chelmsford and Kew Palace has also improved recently with Ryan Moore taking the reins today.
