        held up, never on terms

        In depth

        Verdict

        Although her winning form on turf is on a soft surface, Rapsgate has run well, and arguably better, on each occasion that she has tackled fast ground so gets the vote to take advantage of her dropping mark and is preferred to Danetime Lord and Sir Orpen. The last mentioned hails from the in-form yard of David Barron and has to be respected but could probably do with some help from the handicapper. Savernake Blue has given little cause for optimism in three starts this term, while Princess Cleo may do better on today's faster ground but has been well held in both starts this term. Danetime Lord could probably do with being dropped a couple of pounds and preference is for Rapsgate, who is taken to resume winning ways.
