In depth

Verdict

PRAISED will likely prove a warm order on the back of a promising debut at Yarmouth. Slowly away and detached from the rest of the field, the Haggas filly produced a late surge to finish second and can go one better with a normal start. End Zone will be sharper for a comeback run in a handicap at York and is weighted to beat recent Wolverhampton runner-up Cotai Again, who finished in front of Aramis Grey on that occasion. Catherine Bay is preferred to the newcomer Popple of the remainder.
