Verdict

TIGRESSE BLEUE showed a big improvement on her return to action at Huntingdon. Value for much more than the length and a half winning margin, she can defy a penalty and go in again. Sugar Hiccup's winning run came to an end off today's mark at Wincanton last month and Kalamill makes more appeal on the back of a third at Plumpton. He's The Daddy may prove best of the rest on his first start since May.
