In depth
Verdict
City Guest won a lower grade contest at Kempton recently and has been raised 6lb while Plentyinthetanksir scored over track and trip on his penultimate start but is 10lb higher today after placing at Newcastle subsequently. There was little between Espresso Freddo and Gentlemen at Kempton last time when the former finished a close-up fifth and both have slipped down the weights but a chance is taken on the less-exposed ORSERA. She never figured dropped back to 6f last time but wasn’t disgraced in Class 2 company over track and trip before that and Peter Chapple-Hyam’s filly can figure with a similar effort.
