    In depth

    Verdict

    Furnicoe keeps threatening to get her head in front having found one too good again at Southwell but Mintana never figured last time having won at Lingfield before that when beating POR TI VOLARE. The latter is taken to show further progress today and reverse running. Ok Pal was still well beaten when third at Southwell and the remaining pair make their handicap debuts.
