In depth

Verdict

Madame Ambassador has been frustrating to follow and ran a shocker at Pontefract last month. Cabrakan also needs to bounce back from a poor run at Goodwood but the maiden Dark Mystery takes a big drop in class. Fearless Bay has won twice on the all-weather but a recent third at Windsor was the first time he’d placed on Turf in five attempts. MASHKUUR is 0-11 but his second at Lingfield and was only his second run for new connections and he might be worth another chance dropped a pound since.
