In depth

Verdict

It’s on to the Turf track for the remainder of the fixture with Maxine bidding for a hat-trick having romped home at Pontefract to complete a double on soft ground. But it remains to be seen if she’s as effective on this faster surface raised 12lb and she is taken on with HORSEFLY (NAP). The latter disappointed on testing going last time but had placed on fast ground behind a subsequent winner at Windsor before that. Act Naturally never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Nottingham while Ladywood missed out on a four-timer back on the Turf at Yarmouth. Shamardalah makes her handicap debut but has an inexperienced apprentice on board.
