Verdict

SANCTION justified support on her handicap debut for an in-form yard at Nottingham juts over 6 weeks ago and with further progress anticipated, Ed Bethell's 3-y-o gets the nod to follow up as her stamina is further drawn out. Squeezbox is in fine form at present so Mick Appleby's 4-y-o could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with The Dancing Poet and Shazam another couple worthy of consideration.

  1. SANCTION
  2. SQUEEZEBOX (IRE)
  3. THE DANCING POET
