Verdict

Keen to see MASSIVE SOVEREIGN (6) back in action for the new stable, having switched to the Eustace barn since his last run in November. He's trialled sharply coming into this and Purton remains in the saddle for his return. He's won twice when first-up in the past and he looks ready to return to his best form. PATCH OF THETA (5) has had plenty of market support in recent races but just seems to find one better. Bowman hops back in the saddle and stepping up to the mile looks a big tick. He can put his best foot forward again. BEAUTY JOY (1) stormed home to win The Premier Plate last start at G3 level over 1 ?m. He rises in weight on the back of that win, but he was rather impressive and a repeat effort will see him hard to hold out again. HAPPY TOGETHER (4) was close over 7f last start in The Premier Cup and has to be included stepping out to the mile again.
