Verdict
COULDN’T COULD SHE won the last renewal of this and returned to action with a second at Lingfield. Another bold bid is expected off her current mark. Burning Sun returned a surprise 40/1 winner when scoring in soft ground over 7f at Lingfield but has yet to race over this far while Sky Lake also steps up in distance having placed on the all-weather earlier in the year. Summer Valley posted her best efforts over today’s trip last term and returns to action with a shout.
