Pink Sheets makes her handicap debut over hurdles having finished second in a maiden race at Southwell. Fibonacci won on the Flat in July but failed to complete back over timber at Stratford though this faster going should suit but VANDERBILT is preferred. The latter finished well ahead of Zlatan when finding only one too good at Newton Abbot and can race off the same mark today. Court In Matera posted a better effort at Uttoxeter having slipped down the weights and may prove best of the rest.
