In depth
Verdict
Another weak affair that should take little winning and Christina Sanchez is the suggestion to small stakes ahead of Non Ultra, Blanco and Senor Pedro. Sir Mark Prescott's charge returns from a ten-month break and is still a maiden but is the least exposed runner in the line up and should prove more competitive on her handicap debut over a more suitable trip having been campaigned over sprint distances last season. There should be plenty to come from the daughter of El Prado who returns on an attractive mark. Non Ultra lifted a weak seller at Nottingham last month but disappointed next time and was well beaten on his previous attempt over course and distance in late April while Senor Pedro is a C&D winner but has been well below his best of late. Blanco has been well placed to win back-to-back races at Southwell and Nottingham this term but has yet to prove he is as effective on this surface.
