In depth
Verdict
The Galileo filly Asanta Sana could do with a victory for the paddocks but weakened quickly over this trip at Lingfield after showing up to 2f out. Marqoom takes a big step up in trip after finishing last of six over a mile at Newcastle where she led until just before the 2f marker. Cray has had all of his four starts on Tapeta at Newcastle and looked very moderate so this can go to a newcomer and ABOVE NORMAL fits the bill. The Godolphin colt is a son of Street Cry out of a Group 1 winner and related to five-times Flat and triple hurdles winner Ennistown.
