None of these inspire confidence and Charlie Arthur’s recent close-up fifth here came in a lowly classified event. Toro Dorado was narrowly beaten at Newcastle before placing again over a longer trip at Epsom while Canasta may finish closer today on her second start handicapping. But a token vote goes to LONICERA, placed off today’s mark over a mile at Chelmsford last time. Stormbomber can be forgiven a poor effort in soft going at Newbury with Muraadef and Joyful Dream others capable of getting involved on their day.
