In depth
Verdict
Despite being less than fluent at a couple of flights, COCKNEY SPARROW had no problems opening her account at Doncaster 12 days ago after a promising debut at Aintree when the exposed Miss Conduct was a long way behind. It's difficult to see either Emley Moor or Glaisdale turning Town Moor form around here. Stickleback should improve on her fourth at Uttoxeter but a place may be the best she can hope for and Flat winner Scarlett Fever might not appreciate the soft going.
