Verdict

Nothing leaps off the page in this with last month’s Leicester winner Liam's Lass beaten almost 11 lengths on a return visit. Dancing Jo is 0-9 on Turf but was third over course and distance last time and Duchess Of Avon continues to slip down the weights. SONNETINA raced off a 6lb higher mark when second on soft going at Salisbury last summer. She hinted at a revival at Bath last month and this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. Native Silver was due to run at Bath last night.
