In depth
Verdict
BASANTEE has the best form of those with experience and that earns her the vote here. Tom Dascombe's filly looked in need of this extra furlong when finishing fifth on her debut at Beverley and should go close if handling the surface. The main threat looks likely to come from the newcomers and Always Et Toujours, a first foal out of a 7f winner, is worth keeping an eye on in the betting. Ingleby Angel is a half-brother to a two-year-old winner and should give a good account, but breeding suggests Mr Mallo may need further to show his best.
