      Verdict

      Malcolm Saunders has done well with Joy Choi since the filly joined from Richard Hannon, including a course and distance success in April. She's 4lb higher now but has trip and ground to suit and could have more to come after just six turf starts. Global Acclaim is another likely improver after only three runs but is unproven on soft ground. She'll have every chance if handling conditions, but SWEET PURSUIT houses no such ground concerns, has performed creditably in decent handicaps the last twice and a mark of 64 is acceptable. Theotherside ran well at Doncaster last time but is another unproven on the soft.
