Verdict
Molly Mai escapes a penalty for winning a low grade apprentices' race at Beverley while Material Girl landed a maiden over 7f at Thirsk last time. But others are less exposed including Chelmsford runner-up Yimkin, though the form of that race is not working out, while it was soft ground when I Am Magical found one too good at Haydock. NEW JAZZ was no match for Ribblesdale entry Nearooz in novice company at Wolverhampton but John Gosden’s filly will likely improve now handicapping and gets the vote to open her account. Dashed and Al Messila need to improve to figure but may well do so.
