Verdict
More Joy, a winner on the Flat in France, could be interesting if handling this quicker surface on her first run for Sophie Leech but ULTIMATE FAME, a bumper winner last year at Stratford, should be winning this if building on last month’s second at Southwell. Kentford Swansong is making her debut over timber but looks the pick of the remainder.
