In depth
Verdict
Rising Sunshine finished ahead of Soaring Spirits when third here earlier in the month but the latter is better off at the weights with Locommotion for an earlier defeat over track and trip. LAST WORD is also weighted to reverse November’s form here with Locommotion and ,given that was her only start of last year, Joseph Tuite’s filly is taken to do so with plenty of scope for improvement. Black Truffle won over 6f at Chelmsford last month but Free Talkin is less exposed and has the beating of Dark Freedom on latest running here.
