Verdict
Kinlochrannoch should improve a fair bit for her debut but with Paul Hanagan booked she may well be short on value and we will take a chance on CUDDLY. Robert Cowell's runners are going well and this Royal Applause filly is related to a number of juvenile winners over this trip. Conditions are unlikely to prove a barrier to success and while she should still improve for this first run she might be good enough to win at the first time of asking. Abzolutely will relish the going and although out of her depth in Listed company at York, she has some very solid maiden form in the context of this race and is likely to run her race, so if doing so she should take a bit of beating. Silver Angel has a decent draw and may find taking on her own sex a little easier that previous races but we will side Cuddly.
