In depth
Verdict
LADY DAUPHIN showed some promise on her debut at Yarmouth last year and kept on well to get off the mark on her belated reappearance at Redcar. She has a penalty but is open to plenty of further progress and can double up. Alandalos has been very consistent this season, the last twice in handicaps. She’ll appreciate this return to novice company and won’t be far away. Love Explodes has some ability, despite failing to make the frame so far, but it’s harder to make a case for the other pair.
