In depth
Verdict
Dommersen is slipping down the weights but is hard to recommend on recent efforts. Amazing Michele has won at Chester and Newcastle this term but looks to have been reeled in by the handicapper and her stable has hit the buffers. All My Love is having a first run on Fibresand but has twice gone close on Tapeta over this trip. Lightly-raced three-year-old MAYBE TODAY and Victoria Drummond could dominate this handicap with the vote going to the former, second at Windsor last month and type to do even better over this longer distance. Mark Johnston’s filly came again to record a minor upset in a novice event at Chelmsford last month so is much respected making her debut in handicaps but Karezak is best watched after a very long absence.
