In depth

Verdict

Oh So Audacious won here during the summer and scored again at Brighton last month. But the underfoot conditions are a worry for her and TILT AT WINDMILLS is preferred despite carrying a penalty as it was heavy ground when the latter made all for a convincing victory at Bath last week. Magical Dragon won over a longer trip on the Polytrack at Lingfield recently while Rita Rana placed on the Turf course at the latter track in August.
