Verdict

This run-of-the mill maiden can go to O Fourlunda, with Star Strider, Oystermouth and Winning show others to consider. If breeding counts for anything, then O Fourlunda should make a name for herself, being a half-sister to Blue Monday, while the dam hails from the family of previous Clive Brittain stars Warrsan and Luso. Needless to say, she will be worth plenty in the paddocks if they can get some black type next to her name, and she can start on that road by coming good here. She took too keen a hold and ran green on her Yarmouth debut last month, but still acquitted herself well, finishing third to Beautiful Madness, and with minimal improvement, can go close here. Star Strider has bits and pieces of placed form to his name, while Oystermouth failed to build on what was a promising debut here when beaten on the Kempton Polytrack last time. Maybe the return to Turf will help his cause, while of the remainder, Winning Show has the assistance of Ryan Moore, but takes a marked drop back in trip. O Fourlunda makes most appeal.
