Verdict

AWESOMETANK continued her good progress at Newmarket a fortnight ago when landing a decent handicap. She’s upped 6lb for that but there should be more to come over this extra furlong and she is taken to confirm running with Dark Liberty despite worse terms. The latter won’t be far away again but this is a big step up in class for Sunbreak, who has been winning on the all-weather, and stablemate Book of Dreams looks to have stronger claims. Shazzab won a nursery at Pontefract recently but stable companion Buckstopper Kit is less exposed after landing a novice race at Beverley last month.
