      Verdict

      All of these make their handicap debuts with ACT NATURALLY (NAP) making most appeal. The Crisfords' filly found only one too good at Newcastle last month and can open her account with any further progress. Cherokee Dance ran well over today’s trip at Lingfield and headgear is applied for this. She’s preferred to Friendly Princess but the remaining pair return from lay-offs with Cosmic George finishing runner-up at Kempton in December and Outback Boy representing last year’s winning yard.
