Verdict

THE TUNGUSKA EVENT proved a different proposition with first-time blinkers enlisted when a ready winner of a C&D nursery 11 days ago and a 9 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow-up provided the headgear continues to have the desired effect. Mereside Princess can provide the chief threat, ahead of handicap debutante Yorkshire Queen.
