This doesn’t look a strong race and CLASSY DAME can take advantage. Beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton last time, there looks more to come from her over middle-distances. Kingdom Found tries her luck over further having placed over a mile at Newcastle without threatening the winner while the likes of Ventura Kingdom and In The Genes have shown little so far and will be hoping for improvement now handicapping.
