      Verdict

      SOVEREIGN STREET arrives in the best form having scored in testing ground over C&D last week. She's 5lb higher today but open to further progress and Ann Duffield's filly is taken to follow up. Both Red Roar and Cut The Cackle won last month and have apprentices on board today to help their cause but Tenancy could prove a bigger threat having gone close again at Brighton last time, though he's been raised 6lb since. Sparking may figure if back to her best but Waabel remains in the handicapper's grip.
