Verdict
Form Of Praise reverts to the minimum after a slightly disappointing effort over 6f at Doncaster where she may have found the going too fast. Lotus Rose couldn't find any extra on this track and trip after being up with the pace throughout while Josies Kid has a similar profile having been outpaced close home at Yarmouth. Alnood never got close enough over Beverley's stiff 5f but stayed on and may find this on the short side. PROCLIVITY didn't quite get the run of the race on the latter track last month but got within a length of the much more experienced May Blossom and normal progress can see her go one better.
