It's almost exactly a year since SAINTED landed a Newmarket handicap in the style of a very useful performer. She hasn't been seen subsequently which is a concern but made a successful juvenile debut so can take this before going on to better things. Courier was receiving 5lb when holding off Rebel Surge on soft ground at Haydock and will be 3lb worse off but looked to have a bit in hand and should confirm the places. Fiorenza could provide the main threat as she battled on to score in this grade at Doncaster and is only 3lb higher though Fourth Way, who finished last of four, was having her first start since October so should get closer.
