Verdict

AVENTURIERE proved well suited to 1m4f on her return to action and won with plenty in hand at Kempton. There looks more to come over this extra distance and she’s just preferred to French Minstrel. The latter is penalised bidding for a hat-trick having also won over 1m4f but the returning Celtic Classic scored over today’s trip at Wolverhampton back in December. Beat The Breeze put a below par effort behind him when going close at Lingfield while Brute Force finished in front of Dorset Blue when beaten a length at Chelmsford.
