        Verdict

        Having won at Ayr and finished third at Chepstow last month, Just Sherry travels over the Irish Sea again with decent claims. Spray The Sea is still 8lb higher than when scoring at Hamilton in July and needs some help from the handicapper while Falmouth Light and Morticia were both disappointing last time having won their penultimate starts. AFFINA is tried in cheekpieces after failing to justify favouritism last time at Epsom. The soft going may not have suited Simon Crisford’s filly that day but she’ll have no excuses here.
