Verdict
SOARING EAGLE found one too good at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut but further progress is expected today and she can confirm latest running with third-placed Confederation. Selina's Star and Samba Lady are closely matched on running at Lingfield last month as both go handicapping for the first time while both Girlswannahavefun and Bedazzling drop back down in trip after placing over 6f on their latest starts.
