In depth

Verdict

Cara Court has won twice here over a longer trip but has also scored over 2m so must have every chance of another success. Work Boy won under Samantha Drake at Wetherby before unseating her on a return visit. Apache Blue needs further and returns from a break but KYKATE is better than recent form figures suggest and she's back on a decent mark. William Kinsey's mare gets the nod.
