Verdict

Quite an interesting start to the card and Cosmic Diamond a winner here earlier in the year has a chance of following up her Towcester win although the handicapper raised her 10lb for that effort and her new mark and the trip may just prove beyond her. Sackett is one to watch in the market making his debut for the Neil King yard after a promising effort earlier in the year although he’s been handed a rise for that. Laval Noir may not be badly handicapped on his debut in a handicap especially on his bumper win here but LERICHI BELLE appeals the most. She hasn’t looked near the finished article yet but is learning to settle and this longer trip should suit and she looks as though the penny may be starting to drop.
  1. Lerichi Belle
  2. Laval Noir
  3. Cosmic Diamond
