      Verdict

      Byzantia won for John Gosden at Southwell in November and has switched yards since. She’s fitted with a hood and steps up in trip for her handicap debut while Luna Wish has something to prove over this far having won over a mile here in January. Eltham Palace drops down in distance after placing at Kempton but HASEEFAH won over today’s trip in France last year and having ran well at Lingfield on her debut for Alan King’s yard, she may prove the one to side with in this.
