Verdict

Recent Southwell scorer SOUND AND VISION looks to have got into handicaps on a good mark and that's even before factoring in the potential for further improvement, so she's an appealing candidate. Mad Unicorn has made an excellent start for her current yard and is considered the main threat ahead of handicap-debutante Mereside Spark.
