Verdict
TEAM MEETING may well be good enough to make a winning start in this for his powerful yard given today’s opposition is less than inspiring. Abundant Courage, Dontforgettocall and Lady Cleo are closely matched on ratings with the latter’s fillies’ allowance in her favour but she’s been handicapping without success and so has Roundabout Magic. However, Little Miss Daisy should have benefited for a recent debut fifth at Leicester and may finish closer in this.
