Formscan - SIRONA has done little wrong since joining the David Menuisier stable, posting two admirable placed efforts over 7f before finishing a staying-on fifth in the Falmouth. In calmer waters here, this progressive four-year-old can make a bold bid to give weight and a beating to some younger rivals. Dangers are aplenty, though, and the unbeaten Listed winner Devoted Queen is feared most, while Sandringham heroine Soprano showed she is still in form when third in the Coral Distaff at Sandown.
