Verdict
Maiden winner JE NE SAIS QUOI found only one too good at Haydock on her handicap debut and should be winning at this level before long. She’ll cope with any further rain and can confirm latest running with Notta Nother, Mullins Beach and Politico. The latter was well beaten in the Coventry at Ascot earlier as was novice winner Flag Of St George while Matters Most is upped in trip having failed to figure in Listed company.
