Verdict

Actinpieces is improving fast but KATIE TOO has marginally more scope having had just the two runs over hurdles, both of which she won in a canter. This is her toughest task to date but she may be up to the task as Jessber's Dream had a hard race in a Listed contest at Warwick last Saturday when runner-up to Flute Bowl, though holds Coco Des Champs on a line through that winner. Tara Flow has won four of her career starts and been second in the other two so can't be ignored but Sunshine Corner needs to step up again, as does the selection's stable companion Mia's Storm.
