Verdict
Valjarv ran well in the face of a stiff task against Nyramba in a valuable sales race at Ascot last week and deserves to win a race but may again have to settle for a minor role with Kind taken to open her account. The selection ran a race full of promise on his debut when a close third behind subsequent Listed placed Unshooda (runs in 2:15pm) at Kempton. The stiffer track here should suit as the daughter of Danehill was putting in all of her best work late on that day and she looks the one to be on. Sir Michael Stoute's Coy, another daughter of Dane hill looks the pick of the newcomers, ahead of Gerald Butler's Darting although a market move for the Henry Candy-trained Adaptable would be of interest. However, granted natural improvement, Kind should be too good for her rivals.
