Verdict
Placed a couple of times on the all-weather last season, No Day Never has been gelded over the winter. Keep Right On showed ability in all three starts on Turf last year but Perfect Times has proved best on the Polytrack at Kempton so far. KINGMANIA (NAP) made steady improvement in her first season, culminating in a victory in a Yarmouth nursery. Chris Wall has been among the winners recently and the Kingman filly should be capable of further improvement as a three-year-old.
