Verdict
Sabrina looks to be improving with experience and should be approaching peak fitness now after a break. It would be no surprise to see her go close in a race like this. Barford Diva was beaten more than five lengths behind Petticoat Lucy here on Boxing Day but is now 7lb better off. Mansoline has won a bumper but winning pointer PLENTY OF TIME ran a cracker here eight days ago on her debut under Rules and can go one better if this doesn’t come too soon.
