        Verdict

        SONNETINA came here for the first time in May and comfortably landed a handicap on fast going. She was tackling soft ground when well beaten into second at Salisbury and back on a quick surface can return to winning ways. Princess Florence has had her last four starts here and gone close on a couple of occasions though seems best at a mile. Approve The Dream followed a very good run at Yarmouth with a disappointing effort in much softer conditions back there. He can do better while Pegasus Bridge ran well against much higher rated horses in a Wolverhampton claimer last week.
