Verdict

Pink Ribbon made all to land an amateur riders' race here on Sunday and has every chance if making a quick reappearance. But it's about time that SPECULATOR was winning on Turf as he's been running well enough off this mark lately. Hard Toffee has a bit to prove now but Petrify missed the break last time at Chepstow, though would need to break better here as Classic Mission usually attacks from the front. Dark Amber has tumbled down the weights this year so can't be ignored.
