In depth

Verdict

Caption may need more time after a modest debut at Newmarket though this longer trip will suit the Motivator filly. Another of Motivator's offspring in Pallasator should also finish closer after his debut fourth over a mile at Lingfield while Yojojo posted a better effort at Beverley last month and makes more appeal than the more exposed Choral Bee but the vote goes to SOUND HEARTS. Roger Varian's filly returns to maiden company on the back of a close-up fifth behind Ruscello in a handicap at Kempton and a similar performance should be good enough to open her account in this.
