Deck Walk has scope for improvement on her handicap debut having won over a shorter trip at Newbury last month, but COVERT DECREE already has the form in the book and she's preferred. Clive Cox's filly also scored at Newbury last time, but over today's distance, and a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent her following up as she ran out a cosy three-length winner. Franciscan came unstuck in this grade at Newmarket last month having landed a double before that, though he may not have finished improving yet, while there may be more to come from Kempton winner Height Of Summer. Robin Hoods Bay tries this longer trip for the first time and Zamina will find life tougher after only winning a claimer on her latest start.
