Verdict

LEARNING continued her race-by-race progression when runner-up in a conditions event at Newbury a fortnight ago, giving a good account from the front, and she could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Pink Larkspur is feared most after her promising second at Kempton on debut, ahead of Concurrent.
