Verdict
Delft Dancer made a reasonable debut over course and distance last month and showed more than Chitra did at Chelmsford but it wasn’t an eye-catching performance. Spell was a £47,000 yearling and is from a stable that gets plenty of early two-year-old winners but SKEETAH went for £58,000 after impressing at the Breeze-Up sales recently and, being a half-sister to a two-year-old winner, might be the one to be on. Red Handed may need further than this.
