      Verdict

      No Guts No Glory tied-up badly in the closing stages at Nottingham having earlier gone close at Ripon while It Is Now has finished third on his last couple of outings without looking like winning. Palifico posted a better effort over a longer trip here last week but a chance is taken on LA EQUINATA. The latter was beaten only a neck at Chepstow last time and cheekpieces are applied for her handicap debut.
