Verdict

None of this bunch inspire confidence. Rocketeer won over track and trip in March but has been well beaten in both subsequent starts, including behind third-placed Sparkling Diamond at Kempton. The latter never troubled the winner on that occasion and Pull Harder Con never threatened when placed at Chelmsford. Marina Grove may prove best of those handicapping for the first time but GMASHA wasn’t beaten far when fifth over track and trip on her earlier handicap debut and gets a token vote.
