In depth
Verdict
Toromona hasn't been seen for over a year and has been gelded so the concession of 5lb to LADY ROCKSTAR may prove just beyond him. William Haggas' filly was beaten when odds-on for a Thirsk handicap last time but won't get a better chance to lose her maiden tag. Nationwide, a €43,000 yearling, made an astonishing £525,000 at the Breeze-Up in July last year but the Coolmore-owned colt has failed to make the racecourse until now. Geminga was returning from a long break when favourite at Pontefract but never really looked like winning.
