Verdict

Strawbs made a belated winning debut at Chelmsford last month but is penalised and giving plenty of weight to the three-year-old NIGHT NARCISSUS. The latter has been in the mix in handicaps here and went close at Kempton when last racing in novice company. Lead Story showed some promise over track and trip on her debut and Miss Bella Brand found one too good over 5f here while Shaqeeqa has switched yards since posting a better effort at Kempton in October.
