In depth
Verdict
All of those with racecourse experience are either dropping back in distance or attempting 6f for the first time. That list includes INITIALLY, who finished third over a mile here last month on her first start of the year and should have the measure of these on handicap ratings. Sonnet is more exposed having gone close in a handicap over 7f here last week but has the beating of Andys Girl and Any Joy on these terms. Hackney Road is related to a winner and preferred to Tibibit of the newcomers.
