Verdict

Carpe Diem Lady is tried in blinkers in a bid to end a frustrating sequence but she has ground to make up on Poster Girl on Windsor running. Artists Model is getting closer but, judged on the way she ran on late at Salisbury, may be suited by slightly further. WRAPPED has top weight and her only victory came over 7f but she wasn't beaten far over this trip at Ripon in July and is back in the right grade following a recent fifth at Newbury. Rio's Cliffs has been showing signs of a revival lately and is worth another try over a mile as she won over ran extended 7f at Beverley as a two-year-old.
