Verdict

Pasaka Boy showed big improvement when encountering fast ground for the first time and easily winning a nursery over C&D. He makes more appeal than Miss You Too but it could pay to concentrate on the winning debutants. Ninjago was a narrow margin winner at Chepstow last month but the runner-up has let the form down since while Excess Knowledge opened his account over a mile at Sandown and is entered in a couple of the leading juvenile Group races later in the season. JUST THE JUNGLE is in the equivalent races for fillies and a couple of subsequent winners filled the places when she scored over track and trip last month. It's been a while since a filly last won this but Charlie Hills' charge looks to have the edge on form.
