In depth

Verdict

Those at the top of the weights are struggling a little off their current marks and it could pay to consider the less-exposed types. Adeste won her maiden in heavy ground at Ffos Las but will find this tougher while Saytara has been a losing favourite on both starts this season, though may improve for the longer trip. Better is expected from Infinitum on her handicap debut but a chance is taken on another going handicapping for the first time, URBAN DAYDREAM. A half-sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner Rainbow Peak, Roger Varian's filly could prove much better than we've seen so far stepping up to middle-distances for the first time.
