Verdict
Foxy Rascal had the measure of Roshambo when scoring over track and trip. But she’s penalised and NEPTUNIAN can take advantage of the weight concession having finished a close-up fifth at Newbury on last month’s debut. Tilly The Filly finished in front of Lucky Lucky Lucky when fourth at Beverley while Espressoo is a likely improver. Pink Crystal is the first foal of a Listed winner and is preferred to Midheaven of the newcomers.
