In depth
Verdict
Sepahi got the better of Reasoned with a late surge over track and trip last time. She may well confirm running with an apprentice’s allowance negating a rise in the weights but ELZAAM’S DREAM is preferred. The latter missed out by only a neck here on her latest start with a subsequent winner back in fourth and Ron Harris’ filly is taken to go one better. Sharrabang’s earlier win at the track came over 6f while Penarth Pier remains 7lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in October though both still make most appeal of the remainder.
