Verdict
Pure Affection shaped with some promise on her bumper debut earlier this month and is likely to be better for that experience. But OKSANA was even more impressive when running on to finish a close third at Worcester on her last outing and can edge this one. Secret Escape looks the pick of the newcomers and has realistic place prospects but Nicely Done will need to improve significantly on her debut to feature here. A Legal Beauty has some useful point-to-point form and is of some interest on her rules debut.
