Verdict

First-time cheekpieces had a positive effect and DANVILLE (NAP) won a tougher contest at Windsor recently. There looks more to come in the headgear and he’s worth sticking with. Zulu Girl tends to save her best for Brighton and was winning for the third time at the latter track last month with Zlatan back in third. Mr Tyrrell is now back on a winning mark while Keeper's Choice won on this card last year and is worth noting.
