      Verdict

      More Than Likely has been placed over 5f recently but landed a double over today’s trip at Brighton back in June. However, she’s conceding weight to the less exposed WITH ENVY and the Haggas filly may well find enough improvement to come out best on the back of a second at Goodwood. Sparklealot won at Leicester last month but failed to cope with a penalty last time while Alban's Dream finished runner-up here on her debut but never figured at Pontefract more recently. Croqueta is a half-sister to three winners and a newcomer to note for the Hannon yard.
