Verdict

Unreservedly would not need to be anything out of the ordinary to take this on her debut and is taken to do so at the main expense of perennial bridesmaid Gypsy Fair and Dragon Slayer. The selection, a daughter of Cadeaux Genereux, hails from the stable of Paul Cole that has been rather quieter this winter than in previous years but is more than capable of producing one to win first time out. Gypsy Fair has an obvious chance on the pick of her form but is becoming somewhat frustrating and expensive to follow. Hugh Morrison's Castanza failed to progress from a promising debut effort when disappointing on her next start and a bigger threat is likely to come from Dragon Slayer. Paul Blockley's colt is still relatively unexposed and has run with some consistency of late. He should be able to pick up a small prize at some stage. Alan Berry's twice-raced Kinky and the Michael Mullineaux-trained Sydneyroughdiamond are others worthy of a mention but the vote goes to Unreservedly, who is taken to make a winning debut.
