Verdict
A better effort from Bridge Of Sighs is expected back in this lower grade but Barren Brook’s only win since 2014 came in a seller at Lingfield in July. Sunscape won a higher grade handicap at Bath last time and can figure but All The Rage disappointed on her latest start given she escaped a penalty for an earlier success over a mile at Wolverhampton. ENMESHING (NAP) has made steady progress in maiden company and found only one too good at Newcastle earlier this month. James Fanshawe’s charge may prove good enough on his handicap bow with more scope than most of these.
