In depth
Verdict
Gemcutter bids for a hat-trick raised a further 6lb but is also upped in class while Agostino went close in a lower grade race at Chelmsford. Safari Dream has been in good form at Sandown having missed out on a double when demoted to second by the stewards last time but LOST ANGEL is preferred. The latter had faced a couple of stiff tasks at Ascot and York since going handicapping and any improvement on her latest third on the Knavesmire should see Clive Cox’ filly go close. Michaela's Boy debuts for Mick Appleby and should be noted handicapping for the first time.
