Verdict

The performance of Rocky's Pride in the first division will point to the chances of Blue Sonic as Jim Goldie's filly was just touched off by that rival at Newcastle. That was only her seventh start and with more progress likely she'll be fancied to go one better. However, DARK CRYSTAL may have her measure as she has competed with credit at a higher level than this since her victory at Ayr in July and has Megan Carberry's claim is a plus. Outlaw Torn has nine victories to his credit and is back on the same mark as when last successful at Musselburgh in May though he hasn't been in the best of form, nor has Lil Sophella who last won a year ago but is still on a higher mark.
