Verdict
Best Example has been thereabouts over shorter trips of late and can figure while Iballisticvin won over 1m3f at Lingfield last month before having a spin over hurdles. Dream Serenade went close over 1m6f at Yarmouth back in May while the saddle slipped on Atalanta Bay when the latter returned to action at Chepstow and she was narrowly beaten over track and trip last season. But SEND UP opened her account over 1m4f at Brighton on her handicap debut and she’s worth sticking with upped in trip by Sir Mark Prescott, who does so well with similarly unexposed types.
