Sauvignon won over track and trip in first-time headgear in May but does seem better on soft going and has another 7lb to carry after another break. Outrageous Romana has won two of her last three but was beaten off a 5lb lower mark over track and trip in between. So Sorry Sarah has a lengthy absence to overcome but is worth a market check now with Olly Murphy and Undisputed has shown some improvement in recent starts, though will have her stamina to prove. MARVELLOUS MONTY was third over 3m2f at Hereford in March and her two runs this summer have been over 2m4f. Just beaten off a 3lb higher mark at the track last year, Johnny Farrelly’s mare is an interesting runner in this despite being 0-17. Northern Beau is also still seeking a first win under Rules but keeps making the frame.
