In depth
Verdict
Comedian Leader defied a further rise in the weights when scoring at Newcastle though She's A Rocket re-opposes on more favourable terms for an earlier defeat here. Chuck Taylor had the measure of Coral Reef when scoring at Kempton a fortnight ago while Evolicatt has placed in all three subsequent starts since winning at Chelmsford. But VASILISSA has more scope having finished a decent fourth at Lingfield on her handicap debut and Alec Voikhansky’s 7lb allowance helps her cause today.
