In depth

Verdict

Ecossaise gets first-time blinkers having failed to land the odds over a mile here last week and she's worth taking on with GREAT EXPECTATIONS. The latter was spotted staying on well to grab fifth place at Kempton on last month's debut and John Jenkins' colt can find enough improvement to land this if taking to the surface. Too Late Jones wasn't beaten far at Wolverhampton on his first start for over a year and should go well, but Pulsatilla was expected to finish a bit closer than fifth on her handicap debut at this track last time. Newcomers Darcy May and Myfourthboy make no appeal on breeding.
