Sandy Steve was well beaten last time having won at Chelmsford before that. Fame N Fortune could only manage second at the latter track having earlier won at Lingfield and it remains to be seen how Ragstone Cowboy copes raised only 2lb after scoring at Bath with Uncertain Smile well behind though the latter has since finished closer at Sandown. But ATALANTA BREEZE made a belated return to action with a victory at Brighton on her handicap debut and there looks more to come from Marcus Tregoning’s filly over middle-distances this year.
