In depth
Verdict
Pepper Street has a penalty for winning a handicap at Southwell last week but Tom Midgley’s claim takes care of that and she have some form on soft ground. DOLLY MCQUEEN is also eased in grade and she probably didn’t stay the longer trip at Chepstow on her handicap debut – she gets another chance here. Mazikeen won on the all-weather but didn’t get far on her hurdles bow and may need more time.
