        Verdict

        ALIOMAANA only found one too good at Wolverhampton on her reappearance and the winner has subsequently landed a handicap. The Gosden filly is preferred to stablemate Belles Lettres and finished in front of Moonlit Night at Kempton on last year’s debut. Strawberri and Nell Quickly are upped in trip after placed efforts over a mile with the former making more appeal. Garden Paradise is conceding plenty of weights to the younger horses but Eternal Light is a full sister to a winner and a half-sister to a host of others and is a newcomer to note.
