Verdict
This looks tricky as Serene Oasis has a wide draw to contend with but is dropped in class while Dark Ages has been in fine form over 6f but was a beaten joint-favourite the last time she raced over today's trip. Silvee won over 6f here last month but is hard to predict and never figured on her latest start and a tentative vote goes to RUM PUNCH. The Folkestone winner was beaten a head on her recent handicap debut and there should be more to come from Eve Johnson-Houghton's filly stepping up in trip on only her fifth start.
