Verdict

Hidden Steps is starting to fall to a feasible mark but this is a chance for FELINE GROOVY to back up her recent win in a Newbury novice event. She still doesn't look the finished article after three runs and should progress again off what appears a satisfactory mark for this handicap bow. Pantera Negra could emerge as the main danger if she has successfully blown the cobwebs away on her Beverley reappearance after a near 300-day break while Angelina D'Or has been performing consistently for the Johnston team around this trip. Ce La Vie's participation may be questionable as she has an entry at Hamilton on Thursday evening.
