In depth
Verdict
SANDY COVE (NAP) has won four times over today’s trip including at Kempton last month. James Eustace’s charge gets the nod on that basis. Ayr Of Elegance has another try over 1m4f having finished second over 1m2f here on her reappearance while Fire And Passion also went close over the latter trip at Wolverhampton recently. Speculator won twice over a shorter distance at the track last term while Harlestone Hopes was beaten only a length over 1m5f here back in January and can race off the same mark.
