Verdict
Kahina Rules was no match for Go Dante at Wincanton on her second start but the winner is held in some regard. Amazing Presence was a very disappointing favourite at Southwell last month but should have improved from the experience. Walk In The Storm is a half-sister to the smart Tornado Flyer so well worth a market check but narrow preference is for another newcomer in I SPY A DIVA. She’s the first foal to race of a very smart performer in bumpers who went on to win over hurdles.
