In depth
Verdict
Impossible to make a strong case for any of this bunch but ILLUSTRIOUS SPIRIT finished closer at Kempton on his first start after wind surgery and gets a token vote. Isabella Ruby finished a close-up third in one of these contests when last over track and trip and Poppy May won a low-grade classified event at Chelmsford back in March. Sagittarian Wind is re-fitted with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces are also added while Valley Belle also gets a change of headgear and Dodgy Bob slides further down the weights.
