Sangria was well supported over the track and trip three weeks ago and finished first past but was disqualified when her rider was found to have claimed 2lb too much. To compound the misery she's been raised 7lb and both Satin Snake and Mary Pickersgill should get much closer. MARSA came good over 7f last week where she led at the furlong pole so the shorter trip will suit and a 5lb rise looks manageable. Lopes Gold makes her debut on the surface after racing in decent company on Turf while Sean Bird's claim can enable Obtain to get into contention on her nursery debut.
