I rarely touch the all-weather once they are racing on the turf, but I will make an exception in the case of Sovereign Bright, who races in a lowly Class Six handicap from Newcastle at 5.30pm for Charlie Johnston.
Still a maiden after seven starts, she has placed in three of those but was well beaten (eight lengths) over the mile at Lingfield last time out.
Upped to a mile and a quarter now and with plenty of stamina in her pedigree on the dam’s side (a daughter of Montjeu who won over a mile and a half) this trip may see some improvement, while the fact that she was returning from a five month absence suggests she ought to strip considerably fitter now.
