In depth
Verdict
Wadacre Grace and stablemate Jilly Cooper have both won lower grade contests this year and the same comment applies to Sayifyouwill and Crystal Casque but MORGAN FAIRY (NAP) landed a Class 2 contest at Newbury during the summer. The Haggas filly may prove the one to side with in this having placed at the same level at Kempton subsequently. Without a win in pattern company, it’s been some time since Sunset Bay last raced in a handicap but she has her first start since September.
