In depth
Verdict
Without a win in France, Tranquil Storm was beaten only a length at Thirsk on her debut for Kevin Ryan’s yard and has every chance. But GOOBINATOR is less exposed and, having placed in both outings so far including over 1m4f at Newcastle recently, Donald McCain’s charge is taken to show further progress and come out best fitted with headgear for the first time. Bella Amoura was well beaten in a bumper on her racecourse debut and looks likely to struggle.
