Verdict
SMOOTH SAILING hung on for victory over 7f at Salisbury on her reappearance. The drop back to 6f shouldn’t be a problem on that evidence and further progress looks likely now handicapping. Dream Catching also returns to a shorter trip after finishing third here while Avon Green moves in the opposite direction having won over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton. Both Miracle Works and Moon Song disappointed last time but are less exposed than the likes of Snaffled and Kath's Lustre.
