Verdict

Vampish ran well at Thirsk on Sunday and must have a decent chance in a race like this but it’s difficult to get away from HUA MULAN (NAP) as Keith Dalgleish’s filly had plenty more in the locker when quickening away from toiling rivals here last week – she should comfortably defy a penalty. Power Player continues to slip down the weights and may prove best of the rest ahead of Araka Li.
