In depth

Verdict

Lady Sandicliffe has the best form of those to have raced previously and gets the vote to win today at the main expense of Theebah and newcomers Penrice Castle and Splash The Cash. Barry Hills' filly ran very green on debut but still shaped with plenty of promise. She is sure to be wiser today and can land this moderate-looking contest. Of the other runners to have raced, Midnite Blews is entitled to come on for his debut but will need to. Penrice Castle looks the most interesting newcomer representing a stable with a fair record with his two-year-old's at the track. She should be monitored for market support. Theebah has shown very little in two starts to date so far but is interestingly turned out again after just four days, whilst stablemate Aaim For Applause is another to monitor for confidence in the ring. A trappy start but Lady Sandicliffe can score.
