Verdict

The maiden God Knows has plenty of weight but this is a low-grade handicap and she's been running well enough to get involved. Barrys Rock started the season well and though out of form subsequently Colin Keane is a positive booking. Giselles Defence should be breaking through soon but EVENING'S EMPIRE has Frankie Dettori in the saddle before his Champions Weekend rides and though she did well when stepped up to 1m5f here last time her previous efforts at around this trip can give her the edge. Neverfindanother U has shown her best form at Dundalk or on heavy ground.
