        Verdict

        A number of these have struggled to build upon promising efforts in the past and none more so than HIKMA. Mark Johnston's filly looked useful during the winter but she has slumped to a mark of 59 after a series of below par efforts on the turf so the assessor is at least doing his bit. Lord Franklin showed very little in maidens but soft ground seems to suit, and he almost saw off his rivals under some very enterprising tactics at Ayr. Sweetnessandlight is better known as a Fibresand specialist though she has placed previously on turf. Conversely, Alpha Arion ran no sort of race on his first experience of Southwell, but with Tim Easterby's stable in such buoyant form, it wouldn't be the biggest of surprises to see him taking a hand.
