In depth
Verdict
Miss Wachit won over course and distance last summer when trained by Alex Hales but she might just need this. Lough Carra is still a maiden but was second four times last year so can’t be ignored. Mole Court won narrowly off this mark at Hereford in February but CAN’T BEAT HISTORY was desperately unlucky not to justify strong market support at Doncaster in the same month and can recoup losses, though Tedwin Hills is interesting making his handicap debut.
