Verdict

Lady Vesta made a promising start at Newton Abbot last month, despite showing signs of inexperience. She should have few problems confirming that form with fourth I Should Coco but we’ll give THE BLACK SQUIRREL one more chance. He came up against a nice prospect at Uttoxeter on his latest start having been placed here on his debut under Rules. Delatite is already looking a little exposed but any money for Fergal O’Brien’s newcomer Shine's Bar should be noted.
