      Verdict

      Rated 69, BLOOMIN LOVELY should be winning at this level though that was also the case in a similar maiden over 7f here last time when caught close home - this shorter trip looks a logical move. One of the newcomers is likely to prove the main danger and Batten The Hatches makes most appeal of them as he’s a half-brother to four winners including Group 2 winning sprinter Pearl Secret. Channel Packet has plenty of speed on his dam’s side and Hitchcock is another to note.
