In depth
Verdict
A low grade affair and perhaps not a race to get too heavily involved in but Sovereign makes plenty of appeal and earns the TEAMtalk vote. The daughter of Interrex is on a fair mark being just 3lb higher compared to her Hereford success in June and has shaped as though she will appreciate the step up in trip judged on her latest two outings. Michael's Princess stays well and has every chance on her close second at Worcester last month but is 2lb higher here and may be worth taking on at prohibitive odds. Tony The Piler has a six month absence to overcome and may be best watched along with Boston Lass who also lacks a recent outing while Aston Mara has been below his best of late and looks high enough at the weights.
