Verdict
ODELLO made all for a convincing victory on good ground at Warwick earlier this month and, if handling the softer conditions, looks the one to beat. Knightly Pleasure easily won a 1m5f bumper on heavy going at Fontwell then found the ground too quick over that same track and trip. Flints Legacy didn't run as well as expected at Ffos Las last month after a promising debut at Chepstow in April but Marthur Mccandles showed some potential on her debut at Huntingdon and is expected to come on a bundle for the experience.
