In depth

Verdict

Cruise In Style threw away a winning chance at Newton Abbot last month and this is tougher. Prettyasapicture hasn't been in the best of form this year while Irondale Express looks to have plenty of weight. But another novice, WINTOUR LEAP (NAP), should go close dropped back in trip and on better ground having been held up here 10 days ago to ensure she got home. Ginger Fizz and Fairy Alisha aren't out of this but Cartmel winner Keep To The Beat was well beaten on the Flat on her latest start.
