Verdict

GOOD REASON had only shown moderate form before stepping into handicaps and scoring with some authority over the track and trip. He's been raised a massive 12lb but appears likely to be there at the finish again. She's A Unicorn completed a double at Nottingham and Doncaster before just failing to concede 6lb to Hooroo on the former track but Tantivy hasn't gone on as expected after a narrow defeat in a Goodwood maiden. Summeronsevenhills showed nothing in two opening runs but came in for strong support at Southwell though could only stay on at one pace. Luna Wish completed a double here in the summer and though 6lb higher than that last success she ran well enough at Kempton to suggest she can score again.
