Verdict
SONNETINA bids to end a frustrating run of placed efforts and given she was beaten only a neck over track and trip last month is taken to go one better with Oisin Murphy on board. River Sprite is 5lb higher than when scoring at Newcastle recently and Zhukovsky gets another change of headgear after placing over 7f here. Potters Question has been thereabouts at Wolverhampton but Cashel was due to run at Kempton yesterday.
