Verdict

A couple of these ran in all-weather bumpers here on their respective latest starts with BELLA BLUESKY preferred to Latterhead. The former was beaten only a neck and the latter finished a promising fourth. Teescomponentslass went close at Ayr on an earlier debut while Signal Point is a half-sister to the smart Duke Of Lucca and is a newcomer to note along with Glorious Spirit and Fair Flame.
