Verdict
Sofi's Spirit has won a couple of sellers this month but faces a more difficult task here than Monday's win at Lingfield. Not Rigg and Imperial Spirit have been competing in maidens so far with preference for the former as he went close over C&D in October while Windforpower has been running well at Wolverhampton. ISHIGUNNAEATIT was only beaten a nose over track and trip last time and wasn't helped by her rider dropping the reins close home. She's taken to go one better today with Silvestre De Sousa in the plate.
