Verdict
Gannicus very nearly won over the minimum here in September and was tackling better company at Southwell next time so has to be respected. KRISTAL HART won a better race than this over 2m3f at Warwick then appeared to find the ground too fast over the minimum here. She's still well enough treated to get back to winning ways. Top Rock Talula was plating class on the Flat but has done a bit better in two starts over timber and was having her first start for new connections when leading for a long way at Fakenham. Ermyn's Emerald attracted some support at Fontwell and was still in touch when falling. He's on a fair mark these days despite being a maiden and looks a threat.
