        Verdict

        A couple of these are penalised for recent wins. Habit Rouge scored at Kempton and can go well again but ALEXEJ returned a clear winner in heavy going at Leicester when sent off favourite on his debut and this extra furlong won’t prove a problem. O Ren Ishii has a weight advantage and makes more appeal than Song At Twilight and Small Pianist having placed over track and trip on her debut while Sargasso Sea is a full-sister to a Group 3 winner and the Haggas filly is worth a second glance.
