Verdict
PRETENCE went close in a tougher contest over track and trip on her debut for Hugo Palmer. She won a seller here before that when beating Making Dreams and the latter has subsequently landed a maiden race. Swift Salian returns to today’s trip with a shout while Guns And Flowers has won over 6f and steps up in distance along with Line Sheet, Commander Crouch and Moyet who all make their handicap debuts.
