Verdict
WHITE BULLET was an expensive failure at Beverley last July having earlier having run Katie's Diamond to a neck in a Listed race over this trip at Newmarket. But she's impossible to oppose in this, despite a lay-off, given she's a lot less exposed than the colt Phantom Flipper, who will be having his 12th outing and was beaten in a four-runner race at Chelmsford on Sunday. Fearbuster is progressing nicely, however, and was only beaten a length at Kempton on her second start – she may be the danger to the selection.
