Verdict

Toptempo was raised 9lb for winning a seller at Lingfield so it was no surprise to see her beaten here on her latest start. She needs to reverse running with The Blue Dog, while Cascadia beat Bowberry over track and trip in October and is weighted to confirm the form. Heavens Eyes posted her best effort to date at Southwell earlier and Claraty may do better now handicapping after a third over track and trip. But a speculative vote goes the way of another handicap debutante in SHURIKEN, who went close at Newmarket on her introduction and should make a bold bid with a similar effort in this.
