Verdict

BOURDETO (4) ran a good race first up at Sale over this trip when getting into fourth on heavy ground. She should come on nicely from that and gets a good run close to the speed here. Looks nicely placed to open the account. KOKO (6) struggled on the heavy 9 at Sale last time but had been close up fresh and can bounce back. MAJESTIC SON (11) is a colt by Snitzel on debut for the Clayton Douglas yard. He's a nicely bred sort for strong connections who should be respected. COVERT ACTION (10) is a Home Affairs colt on debut for the Nicholds & Black yard who has had plenty of good jumpout experience and looks ready to go.
