Verdict
LADY BERGAMOT (NAP) travelled well throughout when landing a Newcastle maiden in a manner suggesting she is more than capable of improving again. Therefore, she makes plenty of appeal off the bottom rung, especially with George Wood claiming a useful 3lb as was the case on Tyneside. Light Of Joy puts forth similarly progressive credentials after a cosy Bath maiden victory whilst the likes of Blind Faith, Ghinia and recent Windsor scorer, Flying North, look the more exposed types with claims. Falling somewhere between the unexposed and exposed stools is Squiggley. Four runs in three seasons tells its own story but her reappearance run suggested the ability remains and she could well prove a danger to all.
