Verdict
Katebird will likely improve on last month’s modest debut effort at Doncaster but one of the newcomers may still prove good enough to make a winning start. Queen Kindly is the first foal of Group 2 winning sprinter Lady Of The Desert and could go well but a speculative vote goes to WILD APPROACH. Robert Cowell’s charge can include the smart sprinter Jungle Cat among seven winning siblings and makes more appeal than Coco La Belle, who is also out of a prolific dam.
