Verdict

Fontainbleau has won a handicap on the Flat at Musselburgh since well beaten over hurdles at Galway. Winning bumper Koroleva has disappointed over timber since a promising effort at Cork but KELLYISCOOL (NAP) looks to have a fair chance of losing her maiden tag. She ran twice at the Galway festival, performing with credit on each occasion, and this looks well within her capabilities. Star Maker wasn't beaten far at Navan last week but looked to have every chance while the remainder haven't shown enough to merit consideration.
