Verdict

Sharp Style won over the minimum trip at Windsor last month and is penalised. PENWOOD was only a length behind in third so looks to have every chance of reversing running on today’s revised terms and she gets the vote to open her account. Sparkalex showed a big improvement when runner-up at Bath recently and is another to consider but both Darling Darcy and Tidal Surge disappointed on their latest starts. Don't Be Surprised is related to three winners and worth a second glance in the betting.
