Verdict
Goodbye is unexposed and can make a winning handicap bow, with Buckie Massa, Kindlelight Blue, Summer Dancer and Risque Heights all likely to play a part. Alan Swinbank sent Goodbye to Newbury for her debut last August when she was outpaced and in rear in the race won by Silca Chiave. However, a winter on her back seems to have done her the world of good, judged on two good efforts, at Newmarket and more recently Beverley where she did not get the best of luck-in-running. She has been given a mark of just 72 for her handicap debut, and that could turn out to be an act of kindness by the assessor. Brighton second Buckie Massa is still well treated compared to last month, while Kindlelight Blue is slipping down the weights. Summer Dancer may do better covered up, having seen plenty of daylight when second at Newmarket last time, and Risque Heights will surely be all the better for his recent return at Windsor. They can all play a part, with Goodbye the one that makes most appeal.
