Miss S West
Successful at 1m and 1m 2f including a win on fibresand. Beaten a head by Zain Al Boldan when second of 3 at 4-6fav on his latest flat outing at Folkestone over 1m 2f (good to firm) in April last year.
An interesting opener despite the small field. Sakhee's Pearl and Megalala both landed C&D event by three-quarters of a length latest and have to be considered, despite going up 3lb and 2lb respectively in the handicap. Dunhoy made a pleasing return from a break recently, staying on for second over 1m here and shaping as though this longer trip would suit, but slight preference is for SINFONICO. This course winner has been competing at a higher level of late, including when performing with credit in a 1m Lingfield contest that has worked out well when last sighted in November, and a tumbling mark allows him to get in off top weight in this lower grade. This is his first try at 1m2f but previous efforts at this level over shorter suggest he will stay.
