Verdict
SARAH’S VERSE has raced twice over track and trip and won on both occasions. The ease of last week’s success suggests she can defy a penalty and confirm earlier running here with Bluebell Time. The latter has gone close again since while The Nosey Parker ran well at Kempton recently but has yet to race on Turf. Victory Rose can figure back on faster going today and Marietty makes her handicap debut on her return to action.
