Verdict
A number of these are likely to have improved for their first run of the campaign. Tom Tulliver finished ahead of Wonderwork and Hurstwood when runner-up at Haydock but INFINITE GRACE is easily forgiven her run in a better race at Newmarket as she reared as the stalls opened and was allowed to come home in her own time. Danny Tudhope takes over the reins and much better is expected today. Fleeting Princess also had excuses at Pontefract but has a lot to find with Leapers Wood on that run. My Kinda Day was only beaten a head at Newcastle so has obvious claims while a case can also be made for Dandizette and Vintage Times.
