In depth

Verdict

Blushes came good over track and trip on her reappearance and is only 4lb higher. Figurante won at Chelmsford early in the year but never figured on her handicap debut. Colourfilly was runner-up here in February and has decent claims dropping down a grade but SMIRNOVA (NAP) is preferred. Marco Botti’s filly was not far behind the winner when fourth at Chelmsford last time and the runner-up has subsequently won. She can make a winning start in handicaps with top weight Pyla perhaps best of the remainder.
