Verdict

Broctune Red notched-up a hat-trick of course and distance wins with his latest success but has been raised 8lb and looks worth taking on with FASHION FREE (NAP). Mick Appleby’s filly needs to reverse earlier running with the former but re-opposes on more favourable terms with Laura Pearsons’ claim an extra bonus and gets the vote. Saisons D'Or has been winning over 7f here and Irreverent is back on a winning mark while Jean Baptiste and Kentuckyconnection return from lay-offs with a chance.
