Verdict
None of this bunch inspire confidence. Diletta Tommasa went close at Wolverhampton and Aurora Gray was second at Kempton before both were well beaten in the same race at Newcastle. Cranwell was placed over today’s trip at Brighton earlier and Trending landed a double here at the start of the year. Peeps has been competing over longer trips since finishing third over track and trip but a token vote goes to the now-blinkered GLORYETTE having slipped 8lb down the weights since making her handicap debut in June.
