    Verdict

    Iris Bud and Alamora return to novice company having both struggled on their respective handicap debuts. There’s little between them at the weights but TARROOB may improve past them. Third at Doncaster on a recent debut, the Haggas filly is fitted with a tongue-tie today and can open her account. Nation's Beauty has a half-sister to a Listed winner among others and the Godolphin filly is preferred to Ocean Beyond of the newcomers.
