Verdict

Topsoil won at Bath last time and is upped 5lb for this. But DAVID’S BEAUTY went close when third at Leicester on her latest start and can race off the same mark today. Brian Baugh’s filly may prove good enough in a poor sprint though Andalusite has a shout back in this grade on her earlier second at Chelmsford. Secretfact has been getting closer and finished ahead of Concur when placed at Ffos Las recently.
