      Verdict

      SWEET FANTASY gave notice she’d be winning soon when placed at Haydock and duly returned a winning favourite on the soft ground at Leicester. She can carry a big weight to victory again. Naasma has been in good form on faster surfaces and a visor is applied after going close over track and trip while Haarar failed to see out the 1m6f at Sandown last time and looks likely to handle today’s underfoot conditions better than both Swift Tuttle and Waterloo Sunset.
