Verdict
Though placed four times as a juvenile, Transfer Affection is having a first run for a new yard after almost a year on the sidelines. Five Towns, a winner at Kempton last year, has had a light campaign but has shown she retains plenty of ability, though has been raised 3lb for finishing second at Haydock. Purple Love makes her handicap debut off the back of a narrow victory in a novice event at Doncaster but PRISHA (NAP) looks better treated. After an unlucky second at Haydock, she easily landed the odds in a Yarmouth maiden and should have plenty more to offer. Soft going was a legitimate excuse for Sonemos at Leicester and she is not out of this.
