Verdict

SIERRA SANDS travelled well throughout the race and left the impression that he would come on for the run when a close fourth in a similar C&D handicap at the Craven meeting. He again has the assistance of Ryan Moore and shades preference ahead of well-bred filly Nanoscience, who opened her account on the all-weather last month and brings potential to this handicap debut. Stellar Vision, who was just ahead of the selection in the aforementioned C&D handicap, also has solid claims.
