        Verdict

        The veteran Tapis Libre has switched yards since winning this under Joanna Mason in 2015. But that pair never figured at Epsom last time and it could pay to stick with BE PERFECT. He’s won two of his last three outings in amateur races including over today’s trip at Hamilton in June when partnered by Emily Bullock. The latter is back on board today with her allowance negating a 3lb rise for winning at Catterick and Ruth Carr’s charge gets the vote. Thorntoun Care won under Amy Collier at Beverley last time and Wynford could go well for a leading amateur.
