Verdict

SUNDAY SOVEREIGN was out of his depth in the Epsom Dash but has every chance in this grade and may be capable of shouldering weight to lesser rivals. Call Me Ginger is turned out under a penalty and is respected while Ready Freddie Go was at the top of his game at Hamilton and a 4lb rise up the handicap does not appear harsh. Show Me Show Me comes to hand at this time of year so may build upon a fair effort at Haydock Park while The Thin Blue Line is a genuine 5f performer and Keith Dalgleish’s gelding is in receipt of chunks of weight from his more illustrious rivals.
