Verdict

The lightly raced Quadrophenia is the pick in this competitive nursery, Hazelhurst and Whipper In are two others to watch out for. James Given's filly chased home subsequent handicap winner The Terrior on her debut, before beating a solid performer Twinned in a Musselburgh maiden. as that was only her second ever racecourse visit she should be open to plenty of improvement. Hazelhurst is from a top yard and this expensive purchase chased home a decent type at Haydock last time. She doesn't look harshly treated for her handicap debut and should be in the thick of the action. Whipper In has shown plenty of promise in four races to date and could reward each-way support. Upthedowns is another that may be capable of reaching the frame, but our idea of the winner is Quadrophenia.
