A big field and a wide-open contest that sets the tone for the rest of today's card. Persun was only beaten a length when runner-up in this grade at Newmarket last time. She finished ahead of the less-exposed Gregoria and Home Cummins with Little Lady Katie back in fifth. Assault On Rome is another with plenty of experience but just the one win while Feeling Easy and Secret Friend won lower grade handicaps on their latest starts. Angels Wings and Escrick are recent maiden winners and VESNINA beat Stocking easily in a maiden race at Newbury before running well when unfancied in a Group Three race at Salisbury. Richard Hughes is back on board today and she may well be good enough.
