In depth

Verdict

Morty scored over this trip at Wolverhampton and defied a 6lb penalty at Lingfield on Friday but has another 6lb to carry here. Oriental Lilly had ten runs here last winter without winning but has returned in good form and has only been raised 2lb for her victory three weeks ago. Atyaaf has been running reasonably well on Turf though looks a few pounds high while Country Charm hasn’t made the expected progress after scoring at Catterick just over a year ago. SHARRABANG hasn’t had much racing since scoring over 6f here in January under Faye McManoman but has also won at Carlisle and is on a fair mark so gets the vote.
