Verdict

CATARIA GIRL started favourite at Sandown after a previous victory on this track. She wasn't beaten far and with Jordan Vaughan's claim a big help she's taken to get back on the winning trail. First Sargeant had been struggling this season before a better effort at Nottingham and a repeat would see him in the mix though Highlife Dancer looks more of a threat. He completed a hat-trick over the course and distance last summer and has now dropped to a winnable mark. Bondi Mist showed her first sign of form for a while last time and is 6lb lower than her victory at Chepstow last summer.
