In depth

Verdict

Andok was narrowly beaten at Newcastle last time but has gone close before only to disappoint afterwards. INFLUENT is less exposed and having been beaten less than a length when fourth at Kempton on her handicap debut, James Tate’s filly is taken to go one better with the longer trip expected to suit. Rainbow Rebel is usually thereabouts without winning and Maifalki posted a better effort over 1m4f here recently but Pensax Boy has proved best over a mile so far.
