Verdict

Eponina, back to a previous career-high mark, isn't the easiest to catch right. Nurseclaire won on debut last term but has had a mixed profile since. She didn't show a lot on her first run for Alice Haynes in December and a watching brief is recommended unless the market speaks well of her. Burning Emotion compiled a very useful juvenile record and is definitely one to watch on reappearance GNAT ALLEY looks a nice three-year-old in the making in these sort of contests for Tim Easterby. He now tackles 7f for the first time but can take the move in his stride and is preferred to Tadita Twitch, who quickened up nicely to land an Ayr handicap latest.
