Verdict

Alexi Boy bolted up on the Polytrack at Lingfield on his first run for Michael Bell but it’s hard to evaluate that form and he has to give 12lb here to the fillies Canaria Queen and SACRED FALLS. The latter looks the most progressive of that pair and should handle the drop back in trip as she has been showing good speed over 6f. Tim Easterby’s charge ran her best race so far over 5f but weakened quickly in a Carlisle handicap latest. Eternal Sunshine is a sister to three winning sprinters, all trained by Jim Goldie, so is worth a market check.
