In depth
Verdict
Tallulah Rose made a promising start at Salisbury, despite missing the break, and shouldn't be far away in this. Groupie made a winning start over 6f at Windsor and only has a 3lb penalty. Turanga Leela also made her debut over 6f, at Lingfield, and stayed on nicely in the closing stages under a considerate ride. Joshlee and Halinka are both likely improvers but GIENNAH caught the eye when fourth in a similar contest over track and trip last month and will know more today – she gets the nod.
