Verdict
Oh So Sassy recorded her fourth success on the all-weather when scoring at Kempton but has yet to win on Turf. Stunned won his maiden at Chelmsford but has so far proved best over 5f and Secret Hint is preferred having won over today's trip at Newmarket in September. Claim The Roses and Dominium have done all their winning in lower grade sprints and Ghalib's earlier double came in Class 5 company. But DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT made a winning handicap debut at this level when scoring easily at Pontefract and a chance is taken Tom Dascombe's three-year-old can get the better of these older rivals.
