      In depth

      Verdict

      Raven's Applause won at Windsor when dropped back down to today’s trip but Libra Tiger never threatened the winner when second at Lingfield. Sassy Redhead won on the Polytrack in February though has yet to score on Turf and the same comment applies to Mighty Gurkha but WOOBAY has more scope. She was still in contention at today’s distance at Ayr on her handicap debut but failed to see out the 7f trip and gets another chance in this.
