In depth
Verdict
REVALUE is penalised for winning at Kempton but has the best form of those with experience and Charlie Hills’ filly looks the safest proposition. Fire Orchid will need to improve to figure and Nawassi finished last on her debut but Jim Crowley still prefers her to the newcomer Hateel. Queen Maureen showed little on her introduction while Rococo is a sister to a winner and a half-sister to four others and a newcomer to note for the Gosden yard.
