In depth
Verdict
Fozzie Bear has changed stables and, though rarely beaten far, is looking vulnerable. Arab Cinder didn't get close enough at Kempton last month but that will have blown the cobwebs away though she may need a bit further. Jelly Baby showed major progress from her debut to be beaten less than two lengths at Chelmsford while Playday was only caught in the closing stages by Kings Joy at Lingfield after attempting to make all. The winner's yard is represented by the Coolmore-owned OPERATING, by War Front out of a mare who has produced nine winners from her 14 offspring and he's taken to keep up the family tradition.
