Verdict

TURANGA LEELA has been threatening to get her head back in front and may well do so today dropping down a grade. She’s preferred to Steelriver, placed at Kempton a week ago, while Bahuta Acha has only his second outing on the all-weather having finished runner-up at Windsor recently. Upstaging ran well in the Ayr Bronze Cup but reverted to type with only a moderate effort at Newcastle last time, though still finished in front of Great Shout.
