In depth

Verdict

FOR GOODNESS SAKE has been hurdling for most of the year but returned to the Flat with a second over 2m on the Turf course here last month. She should go close with a similar effort. Ayr Of Elegance went close on several occasions over shorter trips here earlier in the season but has crept up the weights without winning and Carpe Vita remains 11lb higher than her success at Redcar last year. Charlie Wells has the past form to figure but missed the whole of last year and has raced just the once this season back in February. Kristjano looks high enough in the handicap and Bohemian Rhapsody is out of form.
