Verdict

Verdict

DELLA CASA LUNGA struggled on her return last month but ran a far more encouraging race over 2m5f here next time. The seven-year-old defeated Holly Hartingo (second) from an identical mark in the corresponding race 12 months ago and would have appeared to target this contest yet again. Star Walking made a pleasing return at Ascot and must enter calculations, along with I've Madeupmymind, who fell when in contention over C&D. Miss Cynthia hasn't been seen since April, but this represents an ease in class.

Top Tip: Della Casa Lunga (1)
Watch out for: Holly Hartingo (5)

There wasn't much between MISS CYNTHIA and Star Walking in a Listed race last term and the pair could have this between them. Though she concedes a fitness edge returning after a wind op the former is preferred starting out for her new top stable. She finished 4l ahead of her re-opposing rival at Doncaster but gets 1lb from that rival here who bounced back to form on her reappearance last time. Della Casa Lunga has dropped back to the same mark from which she took this last year and looks the obvious danger to the pair given her excellent course record.
