      Verdict

      Most are unexposed and several make their handicap debuts. Of those, Blue Hero and Envega are worthy of consideration but there was cut in the ground when VERBENA finished runner-up at Haydock and Clive Cox’ filly gets the speculative vote. Valorant and Dream Chaser are others new to handicapping but Cider Apple was narrowly beaten at Leicester on her handicap bow and Risque drops down in class after a better effort over 6f at Goodwood.
