Verdict

Your Gifted beat Celerity half-a-length here last week, with Captain Scooby and Diminutive further behind. But she’s picked up a penalty and the runner-up has every chance of turning the tables. PROMINNA is saddled with top weight but is back over his best trip after a recent third here over 6f. He may still be a couple of pounds too high but the going will suit and he represents slightly better class than the majority of these.
