In depth
Verdict
PUBLICIST posted an improved effort at Lingfield on her handicap debut. Any further progress could see James Tate’s filly off the mark and she’s taken to reverse Lingfield running with the runner-up Better By Far. Mary Cassatt and Imperial Butterfly may improve now handicapping for the first time while Coco Bear finished in front of Patsy Fagan earlier but showed little progress at Windsor last time. Khabib ran well over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton and attempts 6f for the first time.
