Verdict

SUNGLASSES (NAP) made a winning debut and ran well again conceding plenty of weight to younger horses at Goodwood last time. She‘s taken to return to winning ways with further progress expected now handicapping. Cassy O was only beaten a nose at Doncaster and steps back up in trip while How Impressive posted a better effort at Wetherby when not beaten far in fourth. Sucellus won this last year but is 5lb higher having scored on the all-weather subsequently.
