Stoney Broke will find today’s trip short enough on her reappearance and the same comment applies to Green Or Black, who was last seen in action over hurdles at Worcester in November. Champagne Pink remains 10lb higher than her latest success while Sea Tide has only won a maiden so far and was well beaten on her reappearance. FLYING NORTH never figured at Brighton recently but should be sharper for that and the Hannon filly won over 1m2f at Windsor off today’s mark last season.
