Verdict
SWORN TIGRESS was highly touted as a prospect by George Baker so it could be worth chancing that her run at Worcester was a blip. Owned by Sir Alex Ferguson, it'll be the hairdryer treatment for the handler if all goes wrong today. Clarach often travels well before finding disappointingly little. On the evidence of the formbook, she has more hope than most. Brixen and Blakeneys Pet reoppose having met at Towcester last time out. American Ladie is a half-sister to winners over seven furlongs on the flat though did stay 1m4f in France. Sparky May has ability though could find it compromised if the track is hit by any overnight rain.
