In depth
Verdict
Lingfield winner Evaporust was due to run at the same track yesterday while Mackelly’s recent 1m4f success came at Southwell with Seventii well behind. Bolt N Brown should have benefitted for a recent comeback run over 2m but SEA SISTER has been in good form since returning to action. Olly Murphy’s filly won over 1m4f at Catterick in July and, having finished runner-up over track and trip back in June, gets the vote in this less-competitive contest.
