Verdict
Maiden winner Soundstrings sports headgear for the first time having disappointed when sent off favourite on her handicap debut at Musselburgh. Sciarra was beaten in handicaps before landing a maiden race at Lingfield while Hidden Gem is upped in class after a couple of placed efforts at Chelmsford. BEADLAM (NAP) scored by five lengths at Beverley last week for David Loughnane, who has now moved yards. A 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent new trainer Roger Fell’s filly going in again on that evidence and she gets the nod. Barwah has a shout on his earlier second over track and trip and Who's Shirl is back on a winning mark.
