Verdict

SORREL was caught close home over 1m2f at Newbury last time. This extra distance should be within her compass and Sir Michael Stoute’s filly can open her account. Punting also steps up in trip racing off a 5lb higher mark for winning at Sandown while Horn Of Plenty is another likely to improve making her handicap debut with a tongue-tie fitted. Colony Queen placed over today’s distance at Doncaster while Winfola won in France when last seen on the Flat and Winfola gets first-time headgear after returning a beaten favourite at Newbury.
