Verdict

Sunglider sets the standard with a mark of 75 having finished third in a handicap over track and trip last time. But ISSUE deserves another chance having been sent off favourite at Kempton on her latest start but left with no chance after being badly hampered at the halfway point. Upped in distance today, James Fanshawe’s filly gets the vote. Skara Mae was brought down in the latter race at Kempton and has been placed at Chelmsford subsequently while Maifalki is another lightly raced type having made his debut in a junior bumper at Huntingdon last month.
