Verdict
Charlotte Rosina made a winning debut at Sandown last May but didn't really progress though she raced in much higher class than this. Impel didn't quite last out the 7f trip at Kempton and this should be his optimum this season as it should be for Little China, a winner over 5f at Wolverhampton and staying on strongly when returning over that C&D on his final start. Serene Oasis won a minor event over 7f at Catterick and that's probably her trip so this can go to PETTOCHSIDE, who created a shock when beating the odds-on Marcus Augustus at Wolverhampton though it didn't appear to be a fluke as the remainder were well beaten.
