Verdict
A reproduction of her debut second behind Pavement Gates at Hamilton last month should be enough to see the Alan Berry-trained Sit And Suffer open her account in this claimer. However, an ability to handle this faster ground has to be taken on trust as the going was testing in that Hamilton event. Of the others to have raced previously Passionate from the Nerys Dutfield stable makes most appeal as her runners tend to improve with racing. Any market moves for the newcomers should be viewed with interest as this is not a race that should take a great deal of winning.
