      Verdict

      Typical Woman finally won on the Turf when successful at Haydock while Red Royalist came good in an apprentice's race at Chester and escapes a penalty. Naasma remains in good form and finished runner-up at Windsor and Sword Beach finished closer at Doncaster having slipped down the weights. But SPRITZIN’ (NAP) gave the impression she’d be winning soon when beaten only a neck at Pontefract on her handicap debut and gets the vote to open her account.
