Few make any appeal and this looks a good opportunity for SHARP OPERATOR. The latter finished well ahead of Tesorina when narrowly beaten over today’s trip at Lingfield last week and can return to winning ways. The latter finished closer on her penultimate start and headgear is applied today while Mullarkey is usually thereabouts at this level but rarely wins. Both Runaiocht and Born To Reason return to a longer trip having slipped down the weights but it’s harder to make a case for any of the remainder.
