Verdict
SOUND REASON has the strongest form having found only one too good over track and trip on last month’s reappearance. Kevin Ryan’s charge should be winning at this level on that evidence and will be sharper today. Yaddle has failed to show any progress though has the beating of Prudhoe on these terms while Ooh Is It drops down in distance after a debut fourth over 6f at Lingfield. The newcomer Sugar Baby is the first foal of a winner on the all-weather and is already gelded.
