Verdict
Morani Kali is penalised for winning at Kempton while Vertice recorded her first win after 23 attempts when successful at Newcastle. RESET BUTTON makes a quick reappearance having landed a more competitive race at Wolverhampton earlier in the week and is taken to shrug off the 6lb extra. Artisan Bleu finished runner-up at Lingfield last time while Batocchi went close at Newcastle and both can be given a chance in an open contest.
