In depth
Verdict
DORA PENNY may still be one step ahead of the handicapper given she was eased down in the closing stages over course and distance when landing a four-timer. She also beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and is only 4lb higher. Monsieur Kodi bids for a hat-trick raised 8lb but Cooperation and Quest For Fun missed out on trebles last time with the latter beaten in one of these events at Doncaster. Lir Speciale may improve having undergone wind surgery while Aramis Grey and Sound Of Iona make more appeal in this grade than the recent winners Willoughby Bay and Dandy Spirit.
