Verdict
Haven Lady seems to like it here but tries a new trip and still has a lot prove on going this soft. The ground may also be too soft for Eclipse De Lunar, who has barely raised a gallop in his last three outings, so we’ll take a chance on the fitness of FLAT WHITE. Lucy Wadham’s mare is an eight-race maiden who hasn’t run since fourth over hurdles in December but conditions won’t be a problem and she did place on the Flat in France. Sociologist was ahead of Urban Forest at Southwell last month and stays this longer trip.
