Verdict

This could go the way of SONIC PIONEER, who soon got back on the up when second to a well-handicapped rival at Wolverhampton on his latest outing (raced closer to the pace than ideal making turf debut on penultimate start). Heading the list of dangers is Adorla of Achill, who could step forward from her recent run, ahead of handicap-debutant D Day Major Winter.
