Verdict
Goshhowposh was already beaten when unseating in Grade 3 company last time having narrowly beaten Royal Pretender at Exeter before that. The latter pair are not out of this but SABRINA was set a stiff task in Listed company on her reappearance and having won a decent handicap at Ayr earlier, Paul Nicholls’ mare should be more at home in this company. No No Tonic still looks a shade high in the weights and Lord Snootie makes more appeal.
