Verdict
Organza certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn but she does seem better with more give in the ground and is vulnerable to a less exposed type. Selection can only improve on a debut fourth at Newcastle, where he was well backed, while Ripon third Aloysius Hansom is another likely improver. Connections have had to be patient with SUN LOVER (NAP), who makes a belated reappearance. But there was definite promise in a couple of hot Newmarket maidens last year and he could prove a cut above these. Calarules and the four-year-old Midlight look best of the rest.
