In depth
Verdict
Finley Marsh steered Eurato to a course and distance win a fortnight ago when beating Brigadoon and the latter had earlier finished well ahead of Denmead. The former was also in front of OMINOTAGO at Wolverhampton earlier but Mick Appleby’s mare had won a maiden over 1m3f here by eight lengths previously. She gets another chance back on this surface and re-opposing on better terms with Silvestre De Sousa on board. Go On Gal has been thereabouts over shorter trips at the track recently but Sisyphus is hard to fancy.
