        Verdict

        Sweet Expectation doesn’t look particularly well treated on handicap debut but the assessor is starting to release his grip on EQUISENTIAL. Hughie Morrison’s filly gets a tentative vote though she probably won’t get an easy lead as Katie's Kitten also likes to race prominently and has already won over course and distance this year. Lowndes Square was second over this trip at Lingfield before placing again at Yarmouth so looks a danger to all.
