In depth

Verdict

Lady Gosford dropped back to 5f to score in testing conditions at Naas but is just as effective at this trip and must be a threat despite her big weight. Where has been staying on at one pace in heavy going and will need to find a finishing burst on this slightly quicker ground. AWAKENED SPIRIT was sent to Pontefract for her debut but ran very green. She showed the benefit by making all at Tipperary and the assessor hasn't been hard on her so she can complete the double. Cut Me Loose has only raced over 7f and has shown good speed so this trip should suit while Bedecked appeared to show a bit of improvement at Sligo last time.
