Verdict
SANA ABEL is taken to put a disappointing run behind her and can lose her maiden tag at the expense of Maria Nunziata and Funday, whie Henry Cecil's Doggerbank should be watched in the market. After showing some promise at Goodwood on her debut, Maria Nunziata ran well in defeat at Windsor, just run out of it in the closing stages. That was a fine run, and she can go well here. Funday made good progress late in the day on debut, and although well beaten, that was a good third behind a decent type. If she starts quicker here, she can be a danger. Sana Abel ran with great promise at Yarmouth on her debut under a tender ride but ran a shocker at Newcastle. That run was too bad to be true, and Sana Abel can take this en route to better things.
