Verdict

No Delusion won by a head at Newmarket last month with an apprentice on board and is up 5lb with William Buick takes over the reins. SHARQEYIH ran well on her handicap bow at Doncaster but couldn't prevent Margaret's Mission from landing a hat-trick. She can go one better in this company. Spirited Acclaim is back in handicap company having returned a losing favourite in a maiden race at Windsor recently while Sonnetation landed a double in Class 5 contests earlier but found the competition too hot at Ascot last time.
