Verdict

DISCO FEVER carries a penalty but returned a five-length winner over 7f at Lingfield in December. She looks worth sticking with given the excellent form of the Gosden yard. Fantail also won nicely over track and trip on her debut while Award Scheme made a promising start at Newmarket last summer and Angel Power placed at the same track in November. Plath disappointed when last in action but Hidden Sky is related to a host of winners and is preferred to Rainbird of the newcomers.
