      took keen hold, mid-division, headway on outer to lead briefly over 4f out, headed rounding home turn when ridden, weakened gradually from 2f out

      In depth

      Verdict

      Let Her Loose has gone up 3lb for scoring over course and distance two weeks ago but Oisin McSweeney takes off 5lb again. Carlos Felix and Myboymax have both been knocking on the door and the former holds Eye Knee on Haydock running but DANNI CALIFORNIA could be called the winner a long way out over 1m6f at Wetherby last week and she should make a bold bid to defy her penalty, despite a drop back in distance. Crystal Guard is not out of this either on the pick of last season’s form.
