Verdict

With the mare Meet Me At Dawn returning from more than two years on the sidelines, the way looks open for C&D winner TERRA BLEU to bounce back from a disappointing run at Fakenham with regular partner Brendan Powell junior back on board. The latter's stablemate Coda Agency appears a light of former days but Anay Turge is back in the right grade, though a record of no wins from 19 starts hardly inspires confidence. He does, however, appear to have the clear beating of recent Plumpton second Marie Deja La on a line through Dirty Deal. The others are easy to ignore.
