Verdict

FUCHSIA may prove good enough making her handicap debut at this lowly level. James Fanshawe’s filly was placed at Wolverhampton last time and this extra distance will suit the half-sister to a Listed winner over 1m2f. Albert Edward and River Sprite are others capable of better handicapping for the first time but Striding Edge will need to step up on last year’s efforts in handicaps. Prissy Missy won over 6f in this grade in 2019 and has switched yards subsequently along with Falconidae.
