MS SOPHIE ELEANOR is the recommendation in the finale with Two Turtle Doves and Sardan Dansar the alternatives. David Barron's filly did not do a lot wrong when finding just the one too good at Musselburgh. She stays seven furlongs and if granted a soft lead, should be capable of galloping these rivals into submission at an early juncture. Two Turtle Doves was well punted ahead of her recent visit to the track. Had she not consented to hang left under pressure, that heavy punt may well have been landed. Sardan Dansar hails from the family of Sleepytime and Croco Rouge. She clearly is not of that standard though is in off a light racing weight. Chief Red Cloud is part of the switch of the Karl Burke interests to Alan Jarvis. A winner on Kempton's polytrack, he was well beaten on his only previous experience of racing on a softer surface. Ms Sophie Eleanor appears the most feasible option in the nightcap.
