There is plenty of stamina in the pedigree of TESTBOURNE, placed in both starts so far, so the step up in distance should not be a problem. Karl Burke’s maiden should be too good for the once-raced Investigation, beaten a long way when third on his debut at Wolverhampton though entitled to need that run. Zipedee has shown nothing to suggest she’ll be winning any time soon.
