Verdict
Midnight Blue showed little over shorter trips last year but is worth noting representing Sir Mark Prescott as she goes handicapping for the first time. Wicked Sea is another handicap debutante to keep an eye on while several have been thereabouts over 7f recently. That includes Noteworthy, Call Dawn and Lady Of Authority but ZAPATEADO was beaten only a length at Chepstow last week and she gets the vote having gone close over track and trip in the past.
