Verdict
Bataka finished last in Listed company at Newmarket on her latest start but was second at Salisbury on her earlier debut. Sea Tea Dea had less of an excuse over track and trip last time having been placed over 6f here before that. It remains to been seen if ASTUTE BOY can build on his improved effort here a fortnight ago when not beaten far in sixth but Ed Vaughan’s colt gets a tentative vote to do so. Royal Opera House is a likely improver while Shadow Beauty and Crystal Stanza are newcomers to note.
