In depth

Verdict

Chevise won for the first time on Turf in 18 attempts when scoring at Goodwood last time. But she makes limited appeal off a 6lb higher mark and runner-up Pettochside may well turn the tables. Vallarta is penalised for his recent success at Salisbury, his first win since 2012, and RAY OF JOY is also a rare winner nowadays. But the latter was beaten only a short-head at Windsor last time and it could be his turn today. Yarmouth winner Ada Lovelace finished well behind Chevise off a higher mark last time.
