Verdict
Miss Fritton can make a winning debut, perhaps at the main expense of Street Of Hope or Our Wee Girl. The selection is the chosen representative from four entries from East Everleigh and bids to give the yard a fifth winner of this race in ten years. She's by Refuse To Bend, whose first crop also includes To The Point who impressed when making a winning debut at Warwick, and out of a dam who won over middle distances at three and four. She should know her job and may be able to teach her rivals a lesson or two today. Street Of Hope recovered from a tardy start to finish well at Lingfield and should be able to build on that on this stiffer track. Our Wee Girl is speedily bred and related to a juvenile winner but her yard's juveniles have yet to open their account. The market should help sort out the remainder but they don't appear to be a great bunch on paper and this could be a simple task for Miss Fritton.
