      Verdict

      This looks quite competitive for a Class 6 nursery but everything fell into place for BAZBALL at Bath last month. She will have to defy a 7lb rise but may be worth sticking with as she has improved markedly since behind Grey Gray at Ripon in the spring. Moyola wasn’t disgraced on his handicap debut here 10 days ago but does have a length-and-a-half to find with Be Here Now and Celestial Flight was a beaten favourite at Pontefract.
