A few of these can be given solid chances but the lightly raced Sports Express has already shown that she retains plenty of ability and she can start to reward the patience shown in him by his connections today. Magical Field and Activist have to be feared as dangers if they run up their best, whilst a move for the Reveley 'second string' of I Got Rhythm would be interesting at her local course. However, Sports Express, who returned from almost a year off the track at Southwell in April, is a consistent type who can be relied upon to give her all for Darryll Holland. The five-year-old is yet to finish out of the frame when she has tackled this sort of trip in the past and is taken to finally rid herself of the maiden tag.
