    Verdict

    Almadrina has returned a losing favourite in all three starts since scoring over a shorter trip at Brighton and is taken on again with ARLECCHINO’S ARC. The latter has been competing over longer trips since narrowly beaten over course and distance in April and is also preferred to Bird To Love. The latter ran below par at Windsor last time having won at Chepstow before that while both Cap D'Antibes and Bonnie Lad have both won over a mile here this year but have yet to race over this far.
