Verdict
Crosstitch showed definite progress from his opening run to be placed at Leicester and makes his all-weather debut. MAI ALWARD finished last at Brighton but wasn't beaten far at Kempton where she didn't quite get the run of the race and can get off the mark here. Queen Of Romford couldn't get close to the front pair at Chelmsford but that was a much-improved run from her opener while better was expected of Green Zabeel when well supported at Ayr. The speedily-bred Holkham Bay may do best of the newcomers.
