In depth

Verdict

SWEET JOANNA never looked like catching the winner when second at Ayr last time but finished five lengths clear of the rest of the field. Richard Fahey’s filly gets another chance as this doesn’t look a strong contest. Daleelaty drops down in trip having faded in the closing stages over 7f at Wolverhampton while Blue Dawn caught the eye finishing strongly at Lingfield when well behind Sky Storm, who runs in the previous division. The remainder are harder to recommend though the returning Island Warrior has undergone wind surgery since last in action.
