Verdict

This looks a trappy event with several fillies open to plenty of improvement. Andromeda showed plenty of promise in what looked a decent maiden event last back-end at Newmarket and with Fallon on board, she deserves plenty of respect, while Mist Of Time may well be suited by this drop in trip, after failing to get home last time. Zyzania and Groovy meet for the third time with the score at one apiece, but they don't look good enough to win a maiden and should have more luck in handicaps. It would come as no surprise if Omaimah took a hand in the finish, now her yard is beginning to find its feet, but the vote goes to Number Ten, who shaped with promise behind the useful Spinette at Newmarket last month.
