Verdict
SONNET ROSE makes a quick reappearance after winning an apprentices' contest over track and trip last week under tonight’s rider and can go in again. Blessed To Empress scored over 6f at Brighton last month and is 5lb higher while Kraka won over the same distance at Yarmouth before going close over today’s trip at the latter track. Juan Horsepower finished closer at Wolverhampton having slid down the weights and Petite Fleur is preferred to Flying Foxy as both make their handicap debuts.
