        Verdict

        Larado disappointed last time having gone close at Kempton earlier while stablemate Plastic Paddy placed at Southwell when last in action back in April. Double Time has been in the mix on Turf and can figure while Moonspirit has been raised 5lb for scoring over track and trip. SUNGLASSES hasn’t raced since June but won her maiden here and with a tongue-tie fitted for her handicap debut, she gets the nod with the Crisfords’ yard in fine form.
