Verdict

CAN CAN GIRL (NAP) beat a subsequent winner and a well-backed favourite at Beverley just over two weeks ago. Her winning margin would have been greater had she not hung in the closing stages and she can get the better of the penalised Colinton, who has won five of his last seven starts but has risen 26lb in the weights in doing so. Let Her Loose was beaten a long way back on Turf at Pontefract and Paramaribo has shown little so far but Eclipse De Lunar won twice last year and El Picador is better than he showed in an amateurs’ race at Doncaster last month.
