Verdict

Good little contest with some promising first starters engaged. BOOYA BOY (2) is a well-bred Bivouac gelding from the former top race mare Set For Fame on debut for the Adam Campton yard. Impressed in both trial wins and gets his chance from the inside gate. ARTIE VAINQUEUR (8) showed good early speed on debut before knocking up late in the soft going when fifth over 5f at this track. Has further upside and finds a winnable race to stake her claim. ENCHAANTED (9) three-year-old filly by Exceedance from Lanyard on debut for the in-form Munce stable. Impressed in both trial wins and should have the pace to overcome the wide gate. Top-three prospect. DARE TO LOVE (5) winkers go on and fitter now after surging late for a respectable third over 5f at this track. Gets her chance with the race experience.
