In depth
Verdict
Wild Water can only be a tentative selection in a very trappy little contest. She is speedily bred (her dam is a half-sister to Lochsong) and will not have to be a world-beater to figure strongly here. This may be a more realistic starting point for April View after finding the competition a little too tough on her debut at Newbury last month. However, she is still one to treat with caution until she shows signs of ability. Another Glimpse is also one for whom a level is being sought at present and looks opposable back at this trip. A market move for either of the two newcomers will be the best indication to their chances but this remains a race to treat with an extremely prudent approach.
