In depth

Verdict

Tafaakhor has yet to threaten in handicaps but CONTENTMENT just missed out over 7f at Carlisle on her handicap debut. This extra distance should suit on that evidence and the Haggas filly can go one better. Toy Theatre is proving best over 7f but Ourmullion went close over course and distance when last seen in action back in March. Blushing Rose is not badly treated and with last month’s reappearance at Sandown under her belt, has to come into the reckoning.
