In depth
Verdict
Art Historian and Dan Dee Prince failed to threaten on their handicap debuts though most of the remainder are handicapping for the first time. Of those, GUNS AND FLOWERS (NAP) made a winning debut for Alice Haynes when landing a maiden at Chelmsford and she gets the vote with more to come. She Is A Keeper finished runner-up at Chepstow and can figure while Johnny Johnson, Lightning Point and Mart all return to this longer trip and Kitty Bennet has placed over 5f on a couple of occasions.
