Verdict
Teofonic ran green on her debut at Hamilton but stayed on nicely once the penny dropped, though the front six finished in a bit of a heap that day. She still looks the best of those with experience but a few of the newcomers could be useful including London Grammar, who is a half-sister to a winning juvenile. Poker Alice has travelled up from Newmarket and should enjoy this stiff track as she's got a staying pedigree. SNUGGY's sire Elzaam was speedy and she's only the second foal of the useful Mandhooma. The first has already won over 7f so this trip will hold no fears from David Barron's filly, who gets a tentative vote.
