Verdict

Endless Time won a couple of minor handicaps before finding Listed company too much to handle though she was well beaten and it didn't look her true form. Lemoncetta has won two Class 5 handicaps this summer and takes a leap in grade but the lightly-raced Moonlight Sonata has to be respected as she won a maiden over this trip before staying on very strongly over 1m2f at Bath. The three-year-old Twitch has won over the trip on fast going and doesn't look badly handicapped but everything points to another victory for LEAH FREYA (NAP). Pat Phelan had little option but to come for this as she will be hit with a massive rise in the ratings after landing an apprentice handicap at Epsom on Sunday by ten lengths. That was her third victory on the quirky track but she's so well in here that she's impossible to oppose.
