In depth
Verdict
Affina finished a close-up fourth at Carlisle on her recent debut when clear of the rest. She can figure but AKVAVERA is just preferred having finished ahead of Falcon's Vision, Ryedale Encore and Gamesters Icon when second at Haydock on her introduction. Elysee Star steps up in trip having placed over 6f here in both starts to date while Newcastle third Marsh Storm disappointed at Pontefract last time. Salty Sugar and Zoffinia failed to threaten on their respective debuts but hail from powerful yards and better is expected from both today.
