Verdict
It's impossible to have much faith in Fishoutofwater at present but Qualviro was only beaten half-a-length over this trip at Exeter last month and Lady Karinga only found Mistree Dancer too good at Hereford 10 days ago, though did have a hard race. BOUNDS AND LEAPS rather lost her way after winning at Chepstow just over a year ago but may be the type best caught fresh and she was backed to beat better opposition on a couple of occasions last season. Michael Scudamore's mare is taken to rediscover her best and land this as Captain Scarlett looks far from invincible off this mark and Numbercruncher went backwards again here last time.
