Verdict

MADELEINE BOND (NAP) completed a hat-trick last summer with the middle leg coming over 7f here. She had no luck in-running on her subsequent starts then made a very promising return to action in a race that has worked out well at Leicester so can return to winning ways. Dourado, three times a winner last year, also reappeared with a fine effort at Goodwood though he's yet to race beyond 7f. Family Fortunes couldn't quite manage to peg back Thomas Cranmer at Wetherby last week and has gone up 4lb but Keeper's Choice is on the same mark as when just failing to concede 19lb to Tally's Son at Chepstow. The Warrior makes a quick reappearance after a fair run in a better race than this at Goodwood on Sunday and could provide the main threat.
