Verdict

State Sovereignty remains unexposed but didn’t impress on her handicap debut. Parish Boy was placed off a higher mark on soft going at Newbury last month but has disappointed the past twice. The ground will suit Arrowtown but he’s now 0-11 while Mirimar has gone up a further 4lb since runner-up at Chepstow. Ian Williams has had SAILORS WARN back in form over hurdles and he’s well enough treated on the Flat if transferring that improvement.
