In depth

Verdict

Blinkers failed to bring about any improvement in Berkshire Phoenix at Newbury but he does have his sights lowered here. Therehegoes failed to confirm Bath running with Flash Betty over this trip at Lingfield and has gone up a further pound but he should be in the mix again and Roystan Girl has shown her best form over 6f. Cotai Hero, however, might benefit from a drop back to the minimum. LIL GUFF was a beaten favourite at Bath 12 days ago but has the strongest overall form so gets another chance in her first nursery. Lawful Command is preferred to Top Exhibit of the others.
