In depth

Verdict

This looks difficult but we will give the tentative vote to Fun Time with Sapphire Storm and Suhezy both worth noting. The selection has not won as yet as a three year old but did manage to win first time on a racecourse as a two year old which gave her a tough handicap mark. Since then she has run well in defeat and connections have had to be patient with her. She now looks to be running off a handy mark and with conditions to suit her down to the ground she is one to stay on the right side of. Sapphire Storm has had plenty of race experience and looks exposed on what he has achieved to date. Having said that she was in winning form at Lingfield in June and was raised eight pounds for that so she now looks harshly treated. Suhezy is frustrating with only one win from twenty two outings. She did catch the eye last time out though when third at Catterick so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Fun Time.
