    Verdict

    A fascinating novice despite the small field and QABILAH is taken to follow up a Nottingham 1m2f success when getting the better of a 2/9 shot. There appeared to be no fluke about the success and the daughter of Kitten's Joy is taken to follow up with further improvement expected. Sea Speedwell is hard to assess on the back of a pleasing all-weather success last December and it's interesting to see high-profile connections persisting with the Sea The Stars filly after just two starts at the age of four. Game Master now has cheekpieces applied after a disappointing effort at Catterick after looking promising previously and Oriole is definitely one to keep an eye on after being noted coming home in some style on a belated debut at Windsor. She's one to take seriously here and in the future.
