Verdict
With Total Package and Lady Percy looking to face hopeless tasks from having to race from way out of the handicap, this isn't that competitive. At least Topical Coral has proved she has trained on and being by Pennekamp, there is every reason to believe she will be effective on this fast ground. She gets the vote to follow up her victory at Wolverhampton. Handicap debutante Exit To Heaven if difficult to weigh up. She is from a family that stays well and she may do better when stepped up to middle-distances. A bigger threat may be Maedance, who showed she has a little race in her when a close up 4th at Goodwood last term, off this mark, but Nuzzle looks to be high enough in the weights for what she has achieved.
