Verdict
DERWEN PRYDE escapes a penalty for her comfortable success in a conditionals' handicap at Ludlow nine days ago. Lightly-raced, she still looks to be heading in the right direction and can land a low-key finale for the in-form Peter Bowen yard. Another Miracle and Richard The Third are among several here returning from a lengthy lay-off while it's a long time since Tisfreetdream showed any worthwhile form. Acosta won at Taunton in February but was pulled up in his only subsequent start at Huntingdon in May and hasn't been seen since.
