Verdict
JOYSUNNY just missed out over the minimum trip at Catterick on her handicap debut and Mick Easterby’s filly looks to have decent claims on that form in a weak handicap. Sadieroseclifford was not far away when only fourth at Yarmouth and drops back down in distance while Popsilca won at Lingfield in January and is only 2lb higher. Sweet Amazement may finish closer now handicapping for the first time.
