Verdict

WEARDIDITALLGORONG get a tentative vote in an uninspiring handicap. She is not the most consistent but returned a clear winner at Lingfield last time. Snappy Guest has failed to threaten since scoring at Wetherby in April while Anneani remains 7lb higher than when successful at Catterick in the same month. Normandy Knight has slipped down the weights and may figure further helped by Samantha Bell's allowance in this.
