Verdict
Sulafaat needed every yard of the 1m4f trip here last week to get her head in front and is penalised 5lb. Corked finished in front of Kodi Koh when scoring over track and trip in September though was behind third-placed Curfewed over a mile here last time. Quoteline Direct has a shout on recent placed efforts but SOLFEGGIO is taken to open her account. She’s slid 14lb down the weights since April and after finishing a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton last time, Chris Wall’s filly looks up to scoring off her current mark.
