FEARLESSLY showed the benefit of last month’s seasonal reappearance when romping home at Yarmouth last week by six lengths. A penalty looks unlikely to anchor Roger Varian’s grey filly on that evidence. Junoesque continued her good progress with a length victory at Windsor last time and she’s been raised 5lb while Sigrid Nansen is another progressive sort but drops down in trip and is upped in class as she bids for a four-timer after landing an apprentices’ race over 1m4f at Chepstow. Bint Soghaan steps up from 7f for her handicap debut and may prove best of the rest.
