Verdict

BITTERN, by New Approach out of a Group 2 winner, hasn't lived up to her pedigree but is well enough treated on what she's shown on the all-weather and the step-up in trip can enable her to lose her maiden tag. Tingleo makes her handicap debut and found 1m4f stretching her stamina at Bath so she's a threat along with Elle Dorado, who wasn't suited by the twists and turns and soft ground at Chester. Next Stop gained a narrow victory in this class at Beverley before finding Libran much too good in a better race back there while top weight shouldn't prevent a big run from Taro Tywod, whose connections will be hoping for drying ground.
