      Verdict

      Mahale has placed in almost half of her 13 starts but there are others with more scope. Never Say Never travelled strongly for a long way when runner-up on only her second start at Redcar but the Starspangledbanner colt FEDERAL AGENT would not need to be anything special to make a winning start. Are You Able is a half-sister to winners and also worth a market check.
