        Verdict

        Invoke had some fair form for Michael Bell before the move to Keith Dalgleish but may need respite from the handicapper at present after a satisfactory reappearance. The Bell team take on their former inmate with Thunder In Myheart, who has solid claims on the best of her form but has thrown in tailed-off shockers on two of her last three starts and has become a risky proposition. Opportuna is definitely of interest on her handicap bow and the market may well reflect expectations on this first run of the campaign. However, the quietly progressive ROBINS PEARL (NAP) has improved nicely with her racing, won a better race than this last time when revealing a good attitude at Sandown and remains acceptably treated off a 7lb higher mark.
