Verdict

OSTRAVA DU BERLAIS has taken a few runs to find her feet for Venetia Williams but there were more encouraging signs last time and she's taken to build on that promise back in a handicap. Out of Focus has been placed in both handicaps and should be thereabouts, while Olly Murphy's Borodale retains potential as an unexposed sort.

  1. OSTRAVA DU BERLAIS (FR)
  2. OUT OF FOCUS (IRE)
  3. BORODALE (IRE)
