Verdict

A lowly handicap but a few recent winners to consider nonetheless. BRIDGEHAMPTON makes most appeal of those as he bids for a hat-trick after a couple of wins on Turf. He scored in a higher grade at Leicester last time and looks up to defying a 7lb penalty in this lesser company. Autarch won over 1m2f at Brighton recently but was well beaten over today's trip before that and recent plating winner Moment In The Sun is also unproven over this distance. Astroscarlet has been hit with a 9lb rise after losing her maiden tag over track and trip last time and Fleur De La Vie is preferred on last month's second at Kempton.
