Sonnet Rose has something to prove off her current mark carrying a 5lb penalty for winning at Kempton last week. She’d earlier finished runner-up to Bint Dandy which gives her something to find with DANCING RAVE. David O’Meara’s filly beat Bint Dandy and the re-opposing pair Shamameya and Javelin at Lingfield in January and looks to have leading claims today on that form. I Love You Baby was set a stiff task here on her handicap debut and is preferred to Reponse Exacte in this lower grade.
