In depth

Verdict

This Girl made a winning start in heavy going over 6f here but that was over a year ago now while though New Graduate scored over today’s trip at Thirsk that was back in May. MUTHANAA has the more recent form with a promising debut effort at Pontefract and Roger Fell’s charge should go close again if handling the softer surface. Time For A Toot was placed on the all-weather last time and appeared to a handle the soft going at Goodwood on her earlier debut and the newcomer Toro makes more appeal than Samson's Reach representing an in-form yard.
