In depth
Verdict
BONNIE FAIRY is worth sticking with in this. She made a winning handicap debut over track and trip last month and this looks less competitive despite a 4lb rise. Columbian Roulette found one too good when handicapping for the first time at Wolverhampton and should go close again if handling the track. Royal Bushida and Tortoise will need to step up on their previous course form but Diamond Lucy is worth a second glance in the betting making her debut for new connections.
