      Verdict

      No form of substance and four of the sextet sport first-time headgear. Dreamofdiscovery has a couple of third places to his name but the fact he was 14 lengths behind the front two at Redcar tells its own story. That still puts him in here with decent claims but if SCARLET THRUSH can rediscover just some of her early juvenile promise she could prove good enough. Tenby Two drops significantly in trip, Garth Rockett didn't do that badly last time and Flawed Diamond wasn't disgraced in a French claimer latest without ever threatening. A market check is required for Oscar Ranger who has shown nothing in two starts but may yet do better in a race of ifs and buts.
