Verdict
Favoured Nation didn't enjoy the testing ground at Chepstow and is likely to do much better as is Fergall, who caught the eye with a promising effort at Wincanton in February. Glenwood Present was probably fortunate to land a point-to-point at Toomebridge in May but went for £50,000 at the sales so must be well regarded. Orsm showed debut promise but ran poorly in a Polytrack bumper at Lingfield while Bollin Tahini, after a good run at Sedgefield, looked very one-paced on her subsequent start at Market Rasen. PRINCESSE KATIE looked as though she needed further when staying on behind Vinomore at Worcester in June and with her allowances and jockey claim she is taken to get off the mark.
