In depth

Verdict

In A Heartbeat wasn't beaten far on her debut here, despite running around when coming under pressure. She should go well again but MRS JORDAN's fourth behind the useful Carole's Spirit at Warwick in February suggests there are races to be won with Venetia Williams' mare this season and this looks a decent starting point. Chalk It Down can't be ignored after making a winning debut at Newton Abbot and Grand March and Our Boy Ben have also shown promise, as has Cash For Steel. Borkum is an interesting newcomer but may need the experience.
