In depth
Verdict
Bazball won at Bath last month having earlier been beaten by Travel Candy at Catterick and both have gone close again subsequently. Scoops Ahoy finished in front of Fifty Grand Slate when second of only four runners at Sandown while Mecca's Duchess and PRESSURE’S ON make their handicap debuts. The latter just failed to catch the odds-on favourite over track and trip last time and gets the vote on that form.
