In depth

Verdict

Imperial Fong was all out to win a seller over C&D last week and will do well to follow up under a penalty. HYGROVE WELSHLADY looks to have the stronger form having finished second at Wolverhampton last Thursday and this looks less competitive. Lechlade Lass takes a step up in trip after her recent third over a mile at Kempton and makes more appeal than Black Iceman, who was beaten seven lengths on the Polytrack last month though did have Laffraaj well behind.
