In depth

Verdict

A couple of these were narrowly beaten in separate divisions of the same handicap at Haydock. Brown Honey attempted to make all and nearly succeeded but EMBRACE THE MOMENT ‘s race was run in a faster time and Ian William’s filly was beaten only a neck. She can go one better in this. Croeso Cymraeg has been raised 6lb for winning at Sandown though remains unexposed on Turf and is preferred to Windsor third Rotherwick while better is expected from Carey Street back on fast ground.
