Verdict

None of these inspire confidence but CARLA KOALA finished a lot closer when fourth at Wolverhampton on her first outing after wind surgery and may finally open her account. Kroy has been thereabouts without looking like winning and finished behind Sharrabang over track and trip early last year. The latter has subsequently won over 7f here and One One Seven’s was placed over the latter trip on his penultimate start. Quiteacatch remains unexposed and may prove best of the rest.
