Verdict
SHADES OF SUMMER (NAP) ran fresh on her first outing since November and could only manage third at Chelmsford when bidding for a hat-trick. She can return to winning ways with that run under her belt and James Tate’s yard is in good form. Westmorian has failed to build on an earlier success at Newcastle and drops down a grade along with Mellys Flyer while Alafdhal and Level Up have both gone close over the minimum trip recently. Newyorkstateofmind scored over track and trip last autumn but is 5lb higher having switched yards since.
