In depth
Verdict
Most can be given a chance in something of lottery. Both Augustus Caesar and the handicap debutante Requiems Dream won over the minimum trip last time while Colouring finished in front of Heer We Go Again when runner-up over 5f at Lingfield last month. Mitty's Smile has been well beaten either side of scoring over 6f at Kempton while Havana Dawn’s recent placed effort came at Southwell but TASTE THE NECTAR found 7f too far upped in class last time. But Bob Cowell’s filly had landed a double over today’s trip before that and gets another chance with an apprentice taking 7lb off her back today. Rapidash and Triple Spear are less exposed types worth a second glance.
