In depth
Verdict
Tavener was only beaten half-a-length on the Tapeta in April but has to give a couple of pounds to EXOPLANET BLUE. Henry Candy's Exceed And Excel filly has gradually been getting her act together and can get the better of the more-exposed Newholm. Wolverhampton winner Cumbrianna could be interesting, however, as she'll strip fitter for last month's fourth at Nottingham while Spend A Penny might be running into form and Etienne Gerard's fourth at Redcar was a bit of an improvement.
