In depth
Verdict
Katie Buckers is dropping back considerably in trip here but she should have enough class to see her through against a fairly moderate bunch. Delilah Blue and Cherry Tart look to be the pick of the opposition, with the former marginaly preferred to pose the biggest threat. Shampooed can also be given an encouraging mention but Katie Buckers looks to be the most reliable selection.
