      Verdict

      Winning pointer Spy Lady was a disappointing favourite on her bumper debut at Stratford but still finished ahead of Astro Babe. It’s almost a year since Sister Sophie last saw a racecourse but she’d go close if fit. EMZARA also has an absence to overcome but she made her debut in decent company at Aintree last autumn and has had wind surgery since so improvement is likely. Petit Bijou ran green at Stratford and is also capable of better.
