Verdict

OSCAR’S RIDGE is penalised but scored by six lengths over 1m2f at Chelmsford on his debut and looks a cut above these with more to come as he steps up in distance. With Good Grace also attempts a longer trip after a couple of modest efforts over 1m2f and that should suit the Coolmore-owned filly but the remainder have yet to show anything worthy of a mention with the exception of Forest Bihan. The latter won over hurdles and fences before landing a bumper over 2m here in March and makes his debut under this code having undergone wind surgery.
