      Verdict

      Heather Lark hasn’t shown the expected progress and never threatened the winner when placed at Kempton last time. She’s still preferred to stablemate Come With Me but a couple of these are less exposed. Calypso Blue attempted to make all on her debut at Wolverhampton but could only manage fourth and headgear is applied today while BARBARA VILLIERS also showed some promise at the same track on her introduction and Mark Johnston’s filly gets the speculative vote with normal progress. The Frankel colt Ejtyah is preferred to Braganza of the newcomers.
