Verdict
ITS A GIVEN remains unbeaten having defied a penalty at Kempton on her reappearance. She’s worth sticking with on her handicap debut with further progress likely. Ice Age is creeping closer as he slips further down the weights and was placed at Bath recently but Fantastic Flyer failed in a bid to land a hat-trick when beaten at Chelmsford back in March. Breath Of Joy won over 7f at Haydock last month and ran well again on the all-weather last time but May Sonic failed to build on earlier second at Kempton when only fifth back at the same track.
