Verdict

SPARKS FLY has been a revelation in recent months and is taken to record her biggest success yet. Golden Lyra was well below her best on her Nottingham return but rates the biggest danger nonetheless, whilst the drop back in trip will suit Midnight Mile and she is also much respected.

  1. SPARKS FLY
  2. GOLDEN LYRA (IRE)
  3. MIDNIGHT MILE (IRE)
