In depth

Verdict

Rianna Star keeps finding one too good and may be vulnerable again having been raised a pound since her last run at Brighton, though should again beat Tuolumne Meadows and Howardian Hills. WASSAIL remains unexposed on the all-weather and came up against an improver at Bath last time when only caught in the shadows of the post – she appears to hold Vexillum on that run. Jersey Bull has the past form to figure but has become disappointing.
