Verdict

SAFFRON BAY shaped encouragingly behind the odds-on winner when third at Lingfield on debut and she can build on that effort to get off the mark. She gets the vote ahead of Necromancer, who is respected for her leading yard, with Halcon also capable of getting involved given the promise she showed first time up.

Sent off at big odds (200/1) but showed more than on first start when fourth of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. Plenty more needed in this contest, though.

Verdict
Encouragement amidst greenness when third in a Ripon maiden (6f) on debut. After 9 weeks off, still in need of the experience when well held at Wolverhampton (7f) 12 days ago, but she should stay this far and is worth another chance to build on her first effort.

Verdict
Some promise on debut when fifth of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f) last month. Wasn't able to build on that effort when sixth of 11 in novice over the same C&D 15 days ago, but she's in good hands so could yet do better.

Verdict
Making her first start, was very green but got the idea late on when making the frame in a Redcar maiden (7f) last month. However, went backwards from that run when well held in novice at Ripon (1m) 2 weeks ago.
