Edward Lewis found one too good when sent off favourite at Pontefract last time, though drops back down in class for this. OH SO SASSY (NAP) was beaten less than a length by El Astronaute at Newmarket recently and that form received a boost when the latter went in again at Chester on Wednesday. Chris Wall’s mare gets the nod in this given Stepper Point was beaten off today’s mark at Goodwood having won at Windsor before that and Distant Past finished last of 13 back on the Turf at Ripon recently.
