        Verdict

        An apprentice’s allowance negates the penalty incurred by PLAIT for making a winning debut at Ffos Las in August. This longer trip should not be a problem for Michael Bell’s filly and she’s preferred to the more-exposed White Turf. The latter was still beaten a long way when second at Kempton last time though is weighted to beat Echo Cove while bumper winner Ripplet is related to a winner on the Flat and debuts under this code. The remainder have been well beaten so far and are hard to recommend.
