Verdict
A very moderate nursery in which Mia Mia would have a chance on her second at Lingfield and her poor later run came on the Turf course there. Bama Lama wouldn't have been suited by soft ground at Windsor but ASTAPOR wasn't beaten far in a similar race at Lingfield before a fair run at Chepstow and may be good enough with his rider's claim a bonus. Spirit Of Rowdown has been improving with racing and was only caught close home on good to soft at Lingfield while Eyes couldn't handle heavy going at Goodwood after catching the eye over 6f at Salisbury and looks a threat.
