      In depth

      Verdict

      Placed in all three starts so far, including twice here, Blindingly is tried in cheekpieces making his handicap debut. KINGDOM BRUNEL has similar credentials and has been gelded and had wind surgery since last seen. A full brother to the owner’s Group 1-winning miler Amazing Maria, it will be disappointing if he can’t win a handicap off a mark of 73. Newmarket Warrior is something of a standing dish here and is on a fair mark at present but Elixsoft is closely matched with Insurplus on a couple of runs together here in March. Testa Rossa is starting to look a light of former days.
