Verdict

Eight Mile’s bid for a hat-trick failed when a beaten favourite at Chepstow and My Turn Now disappointed at Windsor last time having earlier run well behind Miss Mai Tai. NUTHATCH was only beaten a head by the latter at Goodwood in June and Jamie Osborne’s filly gets another chance with cheekpieces applied for this. Kokomo struggled on her handicap bow and Premiere Beauty’s form has tapered off since placing at Haydock.
