In depth
Verdict
CICELY reversed earlier running with City Escape when scoring over track and trip last month n first-time cheekpieces. That was her fourth victory here and she can go in again. Satellite Call has a bit to find with both of the above while Richard R H B is preferred to Pillars Of Earth, who has switched yards since last in action. Victoria Falls is unexposed as she steps up in trip.
