In depth
Verdict
SPIRIT KINGDOM raced prominently throughout over 6f at Brighton on her debut but faded into third in the closing stages. She should figure over this longer trip and is preferred to Ventura Glory, who had a tough task from a wide draw over today’s distance at Chelmsford and should finish closer here. Alma Linda is related to a host of winners and Royal Variety is a half-sister to a winner over 1m2f and both are preferred to Sweet Jemima of the newcomers.
