In depth

Verdict

TARTAN GUNNA has been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark with Divine Force and Michael Collins appearing the obvious players for the forecast slot. Rated 73, that sets a fair standard for the relative newcomers to aim at. Two runs on the artificial surfaces suggest that Wolverhampton should not represent too many worries. Divine Force didn't appear to get home at Lingfield over this trip and may be of interest once sent handicapping. Michael Collins was well punted in a maiden at the course in December but backers soon knew their fate. Nairana is bred to be better over further so it's no surprise to see two inauspicious outings over six furlongs thus far. Tiffany Lady has been in treble figures on her two starts whilst newcomer, Sadaska has a very distinct middle distance pedigree. Tartan Gunna looks very hard to oppose and we will not do so.
