In depth
Verdict
Three of these share the same handicap rating though Antonia Clara has a fillies' allowance in her favour after finishing second at Wolverhampton. Compton's Finale was placed over 6f here recently while Kyllachy Warrior went close over track and trip on his latest start when finishing just ahead of OLYMPIC SPIRIT (NAP). But that was the latter’s debut and with improvement expected today, David Barron’s charge gets the vote to come out best. Metal Exchange and Fortunate Move should be noted for any support in the betting.
