Verdict
This is an extended mile event for juveniles and, on the face of things, it does not look a strong contest. With that in mind, Sonderborg, with form to her name, would look to hold an obvious chance and gets the nomination. Her Warwick third to Ticker Tape last time is hardly out of the ordinary but certainly reads well in the context of this race. Mocca has been placed in both starts on Lingfield's all-weather and has also to come in to the reckoning. It would be surprising if Geller was one of Richard Hannon's leading lights but he's entitled to respect at this level. Of the others, Paul Cole's Allodarlin and Brendan Powell's Bebopskiddly might be worth keeping an eye on, while the betting market might provide the best clues as to the chances of the others. For us though, it's Sonderborg who looks set to run a big race.
