In depth

Verdict

Awsaaf beat Tiger Lyon over track and trip just three days ago and carries a 5lb penalty. Le Manege Enchante went close at Chelmsford recently when fourth-placed DUBAI ELEGANCE posted her best effort since joining David Evans’ yard from Godolphin in December. The latter may finally be capable of winning off her current mark having plummeted no less than 29lb down the weights subsequently. Waneen is another looking to exploit a slide down the handicap and Silvestre De Sousa takes over the reins while Prominna is usually thereabouts and the unexposed Mysusy debuts for Bob Cowell.
