Verdict
Ciara Boo is likely to improve on her debut fourth at Kempton and the form has worked out already with the third landing the Brocklesby at Doncaster on Saturday. She makes most appeal of the David Evans trio, but this will probably go to a newcomer and the betting will provide a useful guide. Richard Hannon's first juvenile runner of the year disappointed at Kempton on Saturday and he's represented by Lord Ofthe Shadows, while Sea Odyssey's pedigree suggests he'll be seen to better effect over longer trips in time. A tentative vote goes to SILVERHEELS, whose dam is a half-sister to high-class sprinter Airwave, and who has an entry in one of the valuable sales races later in the season.
