      Verdict

      GIFTED GOLD (NAP) made a winning reappearance in novice company at Southwell. She goes handicapping for the first time with further progress expected and is preferred to Wadacre Grace, who is suffering from a bad case of seconditus. Colombidea and Minister For Magic came up well short in Listed company last time and the latter has switched yards while Exigency fared better in Listed races in France though is hard to assess on her handicap debut and first start for a new trainer. Smiling Sunflower is yet another debuting for new connections.
