        Verdict

        Finespun didn’t improve as much as expected when only third at Wolverhampton though this longer trip may see her finish closer for the Gosden yard. But SHARP SUITED has the form in the book over today’s distance having finished clear of the rest when runner-up at Wolverhampton a week ago and Brian Ellison’s four-year-old can open his account. Ice Pyramid has placed over 1m2f in both outings so far and finished in front of Ska Ridge last time while Bobba Tee may prove best of the rest.
