Verdict
TICKLISH made a winning start at Lingfield but was caught in the closing stages when sent off favourite over a mile at Kempton last time. This shorter trip may well suit Mark Johnston’s filly and today’s opposition has looked distinctly modest so far. Miss Sabina’s six-length defeat at Pontefract is closest any of the remainder have finished though Sunset Flash is a likely improver on the back of a debut fourth at Chelmsford with Beguiling Charm another likely to finish closer. Zorro's Girl is a half-sister to a winner and won’t need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure on her debut.
