Verdict
TEFNUT started her first handicap at this time last year off a 12lb higher mark. She finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when beaten only a neck over track and trip and another bold bid looks likely. Vintage Polly was beaten less than a length here with Perfect Soldier behind while Royal Prospect won over 7f before placing at Redcar. Cammy and Debated are others with recent form over course and distance.
