Verdict

Giuseppe Cassioli went close at Kempton having won over track and trip earlier while Asdaa has similar form having won here before placing at Haydock. Mykonos St John landed a hat-trick on the all-weather back in May while Hit The Heights will be sharper for last month’s comeback run and makes his handicap debut. But MRS FITZHERBERT made a winning start in handicaps when successful in a higher grade at Lingfield and a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor here in this.
