In depth
Verdict
Few make any appeal and SIMPLY SIN looks to have every chance of going in again having won with any amount in hand over track and trip last month. He’s taken to defy an 8lb rise given Haseef’s recent placed effort here came over a shorter distance while Moonlit Cloud and Crazy Maisie also step up in trip having both won over 1m2f last year. Bug Boy hasn’t raced since November but has won off a higher mark on Turf.
