Verdict

FOREVER PERFECT ran her best race yet when third in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago and with that appealing as form to be positive about at this level, she could be the answer with further progress not ruled out. Crown Inn To Win is a big danger following a pair of runner-up efforts. Itsonlyrockandroll hasn't looked like living up to her pedigree by any means but gets her first crack at handicaps.

5	Improved plenty for the step up to middle distances, runner up at Southwell in February prior to filling same spot in a C&D handicap 6 weeks ago (Corduroy third).

1	Pinatubo filly who has displayed only modest form in a trio of all-weather novice events at up to 1½m in recent months. However, bred to be much better than an opening mark of 59 and in top hands, so certainly not discounted now switched to a handicap. 3rd Pick 1 Itsonlyrockandroll Jockey: Tyler Heard Trainer: John & Thady Gosden J: Tyler Heard T: John & Thady Gosden	82	-	-	-	25%
