Verdict
QUITE A THING put a disappointing effort at Beverley behind her when scoring with plenty in hand on the Polytrack at Lingfield last time. Further progress looks likely and she can follow-up at the chief expense of Top Cop. The latter went close to making a winning debut when finding only one too good at Salisbury recently and should make another bold bid, while Arnold Lane will also be thereabouts if improving on May's fourth at Beverley. Hatha Zain could have been found an easier debut and Chandigarh has plenty to find on what she's shown to date.
