In depth
Verdict
Miss Sligo opened her account when landing a handicap at Lingfield while Violette Szabo has been thereabouts at Beverley recently. They can figure again but are both conceding weight to the three-year-old FURY, who has plenty of scope for further progress having placed over track and trip last time and looks another with decent claims on today’s card for Oisin Murphy. Thunder Flash drops back down in trip with a shout and is preferred to Perfect Outing.
