Verdict
It was heavy going when I'm Available placed at Epsom but she steps up in distance along with Regal Banner. Both Escape The City and Junoesque won over today’s trip at Brighton earlier but on fast ground while Lady Adelaide has been absent since well beaten on her seasonal debut back in May. Colony Queen and Elegant Love have been in decent form but are upped in class for this and a chance is taken on FANNIE BY GASLIGHT. The latter scored in soft ground at Chester last month and drops back down a grade after failing to figure over a longer trip at Windsor last time.
