Verdict

Listen Again was placed over 6f at Pontefract on her debut and can figure if lasting home. She’s preferred to stablemate Lady Bond given both the latter and It's A Green Thing finished well behind Desert Quest at Beverley last month. Balavad showed only moderate improvement when third at Lingfield but Fandabidozi looks a likely improver having failed to figure at Wolverhampton. A chance is taken on the newcomer CHOSEN MARK as John Quinn’s colt is a half-brother to four winners, including a couple on Tapeta, and this doesn’t look a strong contest.
