Verdict
It took ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM 16 attempts to get her head in front but she finally did so on soft going at Beverley and that’s the only recent winning form on offer. Tranquillity placed at Ffos Las before disappointing at Bath while Espresso Freddo slides further down the weights and Instinct may improve now handicapping on only her second start of the year.
