        chased leaders, ridden and weakened over 1f out

        In depth

        Verdict

        May Blossom is back on the same mark as when last successful and looked on the way back to form at Carlisle. She holds Proclivity on their 1-2 at Beverley last summer while the lightly-raced So Smart looked an improved performer on fast ground at Salisbury. Silky Wilkie is very consistent and was beaten less than a length at Nottingham but this can go to Wolverhampton winner MR BEAUFORT, who was denied a clear run at a crucial stage on his handicap bow at Goodwood.
