In depth
Verdict
Most-Saucy, a winner on Lingfield's Polytrack surface earlier in the month off a mark of 70 can race off her old turf rating of 56 here and is bound to be a popular choice. However, the six-year-old is better on sand and may not represent great value. A similar comment applies to the David Barron-trained Oscar Pepper who races off the same mark as when third at Musselburgh last time. Of more interest could be Jamie Osborne's Deeper In Debt who looks to be of a similar ability on both surfaces and Milton Bradley's Annijaz, for who the booking of Kevin Darley takes the eye.
