Verdict
Although thwarted in her bid to complete a double when runner-up at Newcastle, THREE NON BLONDES lost little in defeat. An official rating of 74 looks workable on her handicap bow and she may take this step up in trip in her stride. Because We Can opened his account over C&D and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid, with fellow last-time-out winner Marseillan another key player.
Expert View Verdict
THREE NON BLONDES was a game winner on debut and was only narrowly denied under a penalty last time. She looks well treated for his handicap debut and is open to plenty of progress for a top yard so gets the verdict ahead of the consistent Balthamos who was a bit too free last time. Marseillan has also proven consistent in his short career and showed the benefit of first time blinkers last time. He looks well treated returned to handicaps and completes the list of dangers.
