Verdict

A low-key end to proceedings which sees Unefille De Guye trying to follow up her victory over a longer trip here in December. She's been beaten three times since but is only 4lb higher so can't be ignored. Arrayan has had a couple of runs on the Flat since his fourth at Wincanton in January and is another with decent claims but YUL FINEGOLD seems to be improving with experience and, making his handicap debut today, can open his account at the fourth time of asking. Fred Le Macon has been racing over further but has never really threatened so far and needs more if he's to get involved.
