      Verdict

      There is little for backers to go on here with only two of the six runners having raced previously. At least those two set a fair standard with New Foundation having arguably the better form. Richard Hannon's daughter of College Chapel beat eight rivals on her debut at Warwick on similarly fast ground last week and has solid claims of following up under her penalty. Capponicus did not achieve as much when opening her account on Lingfield's Polytrack last time but warrants respect. Of the newcomers Paul Cole's sprint-bred Henri Martin (by Inchinor out of a Primo Dominie mare) appeals most. Polar Force and Black Belt Shopper are bred to be suited by more testing ground conditions but should not be discounted.
