Verdict
Second twice on Polytrack, Vandella is dropped in trip having her first run for David Evans after a break. Abate is consistent but had every chance when failing to land the odds at Thirsk earlier this month, though did beat Raksha. Molaaheth hasn’t raced since second in a Doncaster handicap in April but CHIL CHIL was runner-up to a subsequent winner at Bath recently and may find the necessary improvement to make it third-time lucky under Josie Gordon.
