Verdict
ASK THE GURU is upped 3lb for winning over track and trip but had slipped down the weights beforehand and remains on a winning mark. Lady Joanna Vassa has been raised the same amount after scoring at Newcastle and won off today’s mark on Turf earlier this year while Deer Song has been thereabouts recently but has yet to win in 21 attempts. Beau Mistral has done all his winning on Turf so far and Tasaaboq’s earlier success at Wolverhampton remains his only win in 34 starts.
