Eve Johnson Houghton’s stable is in good form and Becca Campbell added to the coffers at Chepstow last month. Luminous may well pick up a race like this before the season ends and Precious Angel had been going well prior to her latest fifth here. Beatisa ran easily her best race last time at Salisbury but steps up a grade for this. FLOOD DEFENCE likes give in the ground but took an age to get going at Windsor last time. There’s a good chance she’ll relish the uphill finish here so is taken to make amends.
