In depth
Verdict
GIVE GRACE was beaten less than a length when third at Ayr and looks capable of scoring off her current mark on that form. Capla Blue has been raised only 2lb for winning at Yarmouth while Renegade Rose scored over a shorter trip here last month but races over this far for the first time. Punda Maria looks no nearer winning despite slipping down the weights.
