Verdict
Pulverize has made no real progress in three starts although his form is good enough to win an average maiden. The same can be said of Hippy Hippy Shake who finished a close-up second at Lingfield on her debut last month and will be winning before long. SIR QUINTIN may just edge this, however, as he only found Rule Book too good at Sandown and given the latter has since gone in again, the form looks solid enough. The remainder with experience make no appeal but Dei Amore has winning relatives in France and is preferred to fellow newcomer Primacy.
