In depth

Verdict

Cottam Lane failed to build on an earlier second at Pontefract when only fifth last time. Helvetian scored at the latter track before well beaten at Newmarket but PRINCESS KARINE is the least exposed and, having finished runner-up at Beverley on her handicap debut, she gets the vote with Harry Russell’s allowance further helping her cause. East Street Revue won here in July with J R Cavagin behind while Pockley and Politics slide further down the weights.
