Puchita is penalised for winning over track and trip earlier in the week but this looks no tougher and she can figure again. Zuckerberg was placed at Wolverhampton last time and Northern Charm finished third at Redcar recently while Global Melody went close on a couple of occasions here at the start of the year. PASSIONAL will likely prove popular with her yard in such impressive form and she’s taken to come good on only her second start handicapping with this longer trip in her favour.
