In depth

Verdict

Not a lot of strength in depth here and this appears to be a decent opportunity for Its Teescomponents to open her account but it may be worth taking a chance with Tarabaloo. Rosie All Over could prove best of the remainder. Keith Reveley's mare made a promising start to her career but hasn't really built on that in four subsequent outings. She may yet find her feet over hurdles but the way that she weakened when racing at Newcastle last time under similar conditions is offputting. The selection has yet to step foot on a racecourse in public but she looks the part on paper and hails from a yard that has been amongst the winners of late. The booking of Graeme Lee takes the eye as he has a decent strike rate and a decent level stakes profit when riding for this yard and she may be able to do the business at the first time of asking. Rosie All Over flopped at Towcester on Boxing Day but she won well enough at the Northamptonshire venue on her penultimate start and isn't dismissed lightly. It's hard to get excited about the majority of the remainder and Tarabaloo gets the vote.
