      Verdict

      Toussarok has won both outings since dropping back down to today’s trip and is only 2lb higher than when successful at Goodwood 11 days ago. World Of Windhover won a lower grade sprint at Yarmouth last month but Spring Bloom is hard to win with having finished runner-up again at Epsom recently. Equiano Springs has yet to taken advantage of a slide down the weights but LOVE POWERFUL showed a bit more at York on only her second outing of the year and the Hannon filly could make a bold bid in an open affair.
