In depth
Verdict
Summer Wine should win this easily she was fourth in the Lupe Stakes and was a good second at Lingfield last time out and she need only reproduce that effort to score in this moderate affair. Popocatepetl has had plenty of chances without winning but she looks the likely one to follow the favourite home she was a third at Newcastle before disappointing at Catterick from a bad draw last time out. Confidentielle showed a modicum of ability on her debut behind Tanaji and only need to improve a little to take a hand in the finish. The remainder need to improve significantly to take a hand in the finish.
