Verdict
Nemushka is readily overlooked but all of the remainder arrive on the back of victories. The most impressive of those was arguably that of PARIS ROSE, who shrugged off a penalty for her previous win to score cosily at Newmarket last week. She's just preferred to Lyric Ballad and dual Polytrack winner Thwart, who also go in search of hat-tricks. Tuscania was winning for the first time since 2010 when successful at Yarmouth recently but the unexposed Ardingly could prove a fly in the ointment on her handicap debut after dead-heating for first at Kempton last month.
