In depth
Verdict
SINNDARELLA’s two runs this term in better company suggests she retains a modicum of ability and this is a very modest handicap. Astra Via is an infrequent winner but usually thereabouts and Porter In The Park was a cosy winner at Huntingdon six days ago and is probably still improving, though will have to carry a penalty. None of the others make much appeal on recent form.
