Verdict

Copperlight was second here last month after winning over a mile at Newcastle but a few of these are likely to improve as three-year-olds. SPARKLING OR STILL was an eye-catcher at Chelmsford on her third start. She’s a half-sister to a winner and starts off in handicaps on a lowly mark. Bee Able may be heading in the right direction and has a visor on for the first time here but Halfacrown is already looking exposed. Ampney Red is probably capable of better, however, along with Grey Eminence.
