Verdict
Henry Candy has long been a dab hand with sprinters and COLOMBE showed the benefit of a patient juvenile campaign when stepping up to score with a little to spare in a Windsor novice. Raised a reasonable 4lb for that success, she looks a filly open to further improvement. Toptime hasn't been beaten at all far on either start this term and has actually been dropped a couple of pounds from her reappearance mark. With Saffie Osborne claiming her valuable 5lb too, the Millman gelding seems sure to deliver a good account. Amor de Mi Vida holds Obtuse on this season's running and Rose All Day and The Waterman have yet to spark but may improve.
