Verdict

This might be registered as a 0-80 handicap but with the best in the field being rated no higher than 66 the race planners could be called in under the Trades Description Act! Gracious Air is a sporting selection in a trappy race, being sure to be better suited by the decent ground here than the heavy going at Ayr last time. Lady Of The Inn is seeking her third successive victory and should run well but this is certainly tougher than anything she's encountered so far. Life Is Beautiful won well over C&D earlier in the term but would prefer it softer, whilst Sir Michael Stoute's Procession is another leading hope but has looked a hard ride and might not be totally in love with the game.
