CORKED (NAP) won here before going close in a higher grade handicap over course and distance. Ed Walker’s filly is preferred on that form to the recent winners Dellaguista and Titan Goddess. The former won a lower grade race at Wolverhampton and is upped 7lb while the latter only picked up a seller here earlier in the month. Hawatif has been thereabouts off similar marks recently but has yet to win on the all-weather.
