Verdict

Havagomecca hasn’t won since landing last year’s renewal with recent Chelmsford winner Lucky Ava well beaten. Love Trophy Power bids for a hat-trick carrying 6lb extra having won at Yarmouth recently while Rattling makes her handicap debut having scored over a longer trip at Wolverhampton. But GLAMOROUS BREEZE escapes a penalty for winning at Chepstow last week and Luke Cotton takes over the reins today utilising his 5lb allowance. Chris Mason’s filly is taken to make the most of the favourable terms and go in again.
