      In depth

      Verdict

      Katherine Place is a consistent sort but an infrequent winner. Atyaaf has gone up 5lb for winning at Bath but Under Curfew has only been raised 4lb for scoring at Goodwood and Millie Phillips takes off 7lb again. COOL SPIRIT shot clear back on Turf at Musselburgh in April. An 8lb rise makes this a tougher assignment but he is still well treated on past form and has a good strike-rate on this surface. Solar Park has yet to win on Turf but was second at Bath last time and is entitled to respect.
