Verdict
There was some cut in the ground when Zaphea won at Musselburgh but Travel Candy’s earlier victory over track and trip came on a faster surface and she’s recently undergone a breathing operation. Vice Captain won on good ground at Bath recently but several make their handicap debuts with KELDEO getting the vote on her novice win at Beverley. Very Blue Moon has placed at the same track while Newport Bay and Cool Run are others to note.
