Verdict
BLACK SAILS finished midfield in a 6f handicap at Kempton last time but is a potential improver now eased in grade and granted this additional furlong. The main danger may be Lyford on these terms, although, like Don't Cry About It and Heaven Up Here, there is very little to recommend him at present and it would be a big shock if the favourite weren't to go in here.
Verdict
It's fair to say that BLACK SAILS has proved somewhat disappointing subsequent to her most encouraging debut victory for Ger Lyons last spring. Still, this represents a significant drop in class and she's virtually impossible to oppose on these terms. Lyford may edge out Don't Cry About It in the race for second place.
