Verdict

It was a good debut effort from ALF GUINEAS when she finished second at Chelmsford. The Gosden filly was four lengths clear of a horse rated 81 and gets the vote on that form. Timekeeping also made a promising start when runner-up over 1m2f here and champion apprentice Josephine Gordon gets the leg up on the Godolphin colt, who is preferred to Bailarico. Time To Blossom has yet to threaten despite placing in both starts and also steps up in trip but Admiral's Sunset went close in a handicap last time when upped to 1m4f at Newbury.
