Verdict
SANCHES (NAP) returned a shock 66/1 winner here last month but it was no fluke. He was having only his fourth start on that occasion and was stepping up to middle-distances for the first time so it’s reasonable to assume further progress over today’s trip. He’s taken to confirm running with Widnes while Sky Marshal also scored over 1m4f here last time and there looks more to come from him. Great Return’s recent placed efforts have been over the longer trip of 2m while Lungarno Palace looks no nearer to winning again despite slipping further down the weights.
