In depth

Verdict

Allez Sophia gives the impression she’d be suited by a bit further and Point of Order left previous form behind when upped to 6f at Ffos Las. CHARLEMAINE (NAP) produced a decent weight-carrying performance to score at Sandown having been highly tried after winning at Brighton. He may have found his niche in handicaps and will be hard to beat if the blinkers work a second time. Shammah is among the most exposed but any rain would aid her cause and Swinley is better than he showed when favourite at Windsor.
