In depth
Verdict
The three-year-old Rusper's Gift would have a chance based on her form on Polytrack last December but was well beaten at Kempton last month. VAMPISH (NAP) comes out top on official ratings and has been running at a much higher level since landing a course and distance handicap in April. Her placed efforts in two Class 4 handicaps later would be good enough for this, though they were over longer trips. Hooflepuff changed stables in the spring and did a bit better when tackling this trip for the first time at Kempton last month but Thawry has shown little since scoring at Newcastle in February.
