Verdict

The vote goes to FIVE TOWNS, who found just one too good upped to this trip at Haydock and she is taken to provide the William Haggas yard with further success in this handicap. Wind In Your Sails shouldn't be judged too harshly on her latest effort at Chester and she is next on the list ahead of the Godolphin duo Spring Dawn and Mountain Song. In truth, cases can be made for the majority of these, with the likes of Bernadine, Farhh To Shy and Sonemos also worthy of consideration.
