        Verdict

        Several of these ran in the race won by 40/1 outsider Lady Calcaria at Ripon last month. STAYCATION did best, finishing ahead of Fume, Hard Solution and Bugler Bob, and can turn the form around with the winner on 3lb better terms. Ascot Dreamer got off the mark at Redcar, landing a bit of a gamble in the process, and may be capable of better but Primeiro Boy finished behind Bugler Bob at Newcastle on his return to action. Gale Force Maya makes her handicap debut but didn’t show much on Turf last year after an initial success on Tapeta.
