      Verdict

      COOL SPHERE landed the odds by a wide-margin in a novices race at Lingfield just three days ago. A similar outcome looks likely in this given she’s clear of recent Musselburgh winner Too Hard To Hold on these terms. Stablemate and Thirsk runner-up Instantly also has the beating of the latter at the weights and may prove the biggest threat given the remainder have plenty of improving to do including the Haggas filly Reassure, who was well beaten at Sandown on her debut.
