        In depth

        Verdict

        Findeln is likely to improve on her recent debut fourth when she had Optimism well behind at Kempton, while Danube River finished a creditable fifth over a mile at this track on her introduction despite being unfancied in the betting. That form is the best on offer in this, so presumably RED HAND won't have to be anything special to score on her debut. Her dam is a sister to the top-class middle-distance winner High Chaparral and as such John Gosden's 425,000gns filly should have no problem with the trip on her first start in public.
