Verdict

Plenty of unexposed types in an interesting nursery and marginal preference goes to Search Mission ahead of Fools Entire and Park Ave Princess while Toronto Heights is another worthy of consideration. Amanda Perrett's filly showed plenty of promise on her Newmarket debut and duly confirmed the impression when a comfortable winner over course and distance next time. The daughter of Red Ransom has plenty of scope for further improvement and doesn't look harshly treated off a mark of 80 on her handicap debut so should prove hard to beat. Fools Entire is still a maiden and is proving a rather frustrating performer but did stay on well to chase home a well treated rival over this trip at Warwick last week and is able to race off the same mark so has to be respected. Park Ave Princess appeared not to handle the Fibresand surface at Wolverhampton last time and is better judged on previous wins at Musselburgh and in a Thirsk claimer, giving her a chance off a low weight. Toronto Heights shaped with ability when placed in useful maidens in the Spring and may have need the outing following a break when well held at Goodwood last month. This represents a significant ease in grade and the Barry Hills-trained colt shouldn't be dismissed despite conceding lumps of weight but Search Mission looks on the upgrade and looks the one to beat.
