Verdict
CHARACTER WITNESS returns to maiden company having been beaten less than a length despite finishing only fourth at Kempton a week ago. Roger Varian’s charge is weighted to beat the others with a handicap rating including Aishling's Secret and April Rising. But Momentarily may prove a bigger threat having placed at Wolverhampton on last month’s belated seasonal debut and First Link is a likely improver having finished fourth at Lingfield on her introduction. Bigshotte and Wise Fox are newcomers worth a second glance.
