In depth

Verdict

Airwaves was favourite on her Turf debut at Yarmouth but only beat one home. Two Blondes has the visor back on after a fair comeback run over a mile at Ripon and Kuwait Station has had a pipe-opener at Beverley but was beaten out of sight behind ARTISTIC RIFLES at Catterick last season. Charlie Hills’ colt was building on earlier promise that day and there might be more to come this year. Fastman never threatened at Doncaster and looks to have plenty of weight at present but Evie Speed could be interesting given she may have gone over the top when disappointing at Newmarket on her final start last year.
