    Verdict

    India's Song goes well for an apprentice and landed a double in January under Sophie Killoran. The latter is back on board today and the partnership should confirm running at Kempton with Lady Marl but FREUD is just preferred. Ian Williams' charge also recorded a double in January with both wins coming over course and distance and he ran well again behind Pactolus in a tougher race here a week ago. Stosur is capable at this level but has just the one win in 15 starts on the all-weather and that came in France but Taper Tantrum returns to action and should be capable of better this year.
