Verdict

INTERAKT is taking a step up in grade after her victory at Yarmouth on Thursday but she ploughed through the mud for a convincing success and can follow up as this isn't the strongest of races. Peace Seeker is another stepping out of low-grade handicaps and also into this sort of ground for the first time but there's probably much more to come from him. Bunce won a Warwick handicap in heavy ground in October from a 2lb higher mark and made a pleasing return at Brighton but Divine Call ran poorly at Thirsk after a winning reappearance at Warwick. The speedy Apollo D'Negro has never raced on ground this testing but Kylladdie didn't run badly on good to soft at Yarmouth and Ryan Moore is on board today.
