Verdict

Soprano Lass, Sissinghurst Storm and On The Bone are three against the field in a poor race and the confident vote goes to Soprano Lass. The selection showed improved form when second behind Metal Detector and if she can reproduce that effort here under similar conditions she will be hard to beat. Sissinghurst Storm rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Koquelicot but she remains a maiden and for that reason is opposed. On The Bone was fifth behind Bob's The Business last time and is another with place claims. Of the remainder Cash 'n'Credit would have a chance on her best form but has been let down by her jumping of late but for the winner we return to Soprano Lass.
