Verdict
Gwendolina has improved with every run and made a winning handicap debut at Lingfield for which she's only been raised 2lb. Gone has been raised the same amount for a short-head victory on the same track but PERFECT GENTLEMAN is forgiven a poor run when odds-on over 1m4f here in February. He'd won over this track and trip earlier and clearly didn't stay the longer trip next time. Royal Athena holds Dee's Dream and Churchill Rose on their latest run at Wolverhampton and may prove best of the remainder.
