Verdict

Prospects of a tasty finish here for with CANDY RIDE taken to dissolve the challenge of Caster Sugar, while connections will be hoping that Luck Will Come lives up to her name. The selection won a good ground Nottingham maiden over a mile last month before staying on well for second on her handicap bow at Windsor last time. This step up to nine furlongs looks ideal and can bring her stamina reserves into play to good effect. Caster Sugar has been going well of late, scoring at both Salisbury and then Epsom, the latter over this trip, in her last two starts. A 4lb rise for that most recent success is far from frightening and she should go very well once more. Luck Will Come stays further than this and was just nosed out of it on Lingfield's Polytrack last time. However, a 2lb rise for not winning is going to test her mettle again tonight. Seasonal Cross has a 0 from 11 record and but has been going close in defeats of late and despite being out of the handicap she could make her presence felt. Candy Ride can enjoy sweet success.
