In depth

Verdict

BAKOURA was hampered and outpaced when only third to Freckenham over 6f here last month. She'll appreciate the extra today, however, and her overall form suggests she'll take all the beating with that run under her belt. Blue Deer wasn't disgraced when sixth on his reappearance at Newbury and should be thereabouts while Burning Stone was well backed when second at Catterick earlier this month, though that looked a moderate contest. Ari Gold, visored after disappointing on his return to action at Chester, looks best of the rest.
