In depth
Verdict
Iva Go has bags of early pace and is well drawn to take advantage. She may take some pegging back on this sharp track but SNEAKY, a solid second at Sandown last time, can pick her off in the closing stages receiving 4lb – the latter’s trainer still has his two-year-olds in sparkling form. It’s interesting that Danny Tudhope rides David O’Meara’s newcomer Lady Melody rather than previous winner Infinite Grace and she’s worth a market check. Baileys In Bloom was tackling Listed company last time at York and will find this more to her liking, though does have a bit to find with Iva Go on that run.
