In depth

Verdict

Kristal Hart has been beaten twice off today s mark since scoring at Lingfield back in May. Chefchaouen has been in the mix over shorter trips this year and attempts 1m2f for the first time while Elle Rebelle returned to winning ways at Wolverhampton last month. But she had earlier found MERCURY too good at the same track and Kevin Ryan s charge is worth sticking with here beaten only a nose off a higher mark on his latest start. Pink Lips can make the frame but last won back in 2013.
