In depth

Verdict

Masquerade Bling won over 7f here before scoring in Jersey but Charleston Belle remains 5lb higher than when winning over course and distance in July. Showmethewayavrilo won at Southwell on his penultimate start and drops back down in class today but Kraka has only won a maiden handicap so far. Laughton was beaten less than a length here last week and can figure but ME BEFORE YOU scored at Ripon earlier in the year and, after a better effort at the same track last week, David O’Meara’s filly gets the nod in this lower grade.
