    Verdict

    TABASSOR is going the right way and can defy a penalty having won at Nottingham last month with plenty to spare. Charles Hills’ filly is preferred to another winner in Elzaam's Dream, who escapes a penalty for picking-up a selling race at Leicester though today’s opposition is much tougher including Alfred Boucher. The latter is weighted to beat both You Little Ripper and recent maiden runner-up Voltaic while Crochet is a sister to a winner on the all-weather and a newcomer to note partnered by Oisin Murphy.
