Verdict

Essenaitch could be interesting at decent odds back on a more suitable surface. Aflame got her act together at Yarmouth last month and the handicapper hasn't over-reacted, though she'll need another career-best to complete her hat-trick. IZMIR (NAP) stays further and that will stand her in good stead. With Georgia Cox reducing her weight by 5lb, William Haggas' filly may be the one to beat. Gambit, Owaseyf and Bernie's Boy also warrant a mention but Peter Park and Ripoll were both beaten in lesser company last time.
