Dutch Story boasts a record of two victories and a second from three previous runs over course and distance so Amanda Perrett’s charge warrants plenty of respect on his reappearance. But SONNET ROSE has also been successful over track and trip and she has seen action more recently, winning at Kempton in February. Cieren Fallon’s claim brings her rating down to a more realistic level. Full Intention has also been running well on the all-weather over the winter and Ginger Max has only had four runs so could find improvement following a wind operation.
