Verdict

SAM'S HOPE has been thriving over sprint distances with 4 wins from her last 7 starts and she looks capable of defying a 5 lb penalty. Thecoffeepoddotco has been knocking on the door in maiden company and should be a factor now handicapping, while Twilight Madness, successful twice at this venue, can bounce back from his Lingfield disappointment dropped in trip.
