Verdict

Wind In My Sails may get involved effectively racing off a 5lb lower mark with an apprentice's allowance taken into consideration but Justice First never figured off today's mark last time having won over 6f here earlier. CHAPEAU BLEU also scored over 6f on her latest start at Kempton and she gets a token vote now handicapping with this extra distance likely to suit. Houdini beat Arlecchino's Leap a head at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and that pair are hard to separate while Pomme De Guerre, Shell Bay and Belle Fille are other unexposed types worth noting.
