Verdict

POPTY PING has shown her best form on Newcastle's All-Weather, including when placed over course and distance 16 days ago in a race that's working out well. First-time cheekpieces could bring further improvement. Parole Officer shaped better at Lingfield last time and should remain competitive with blinkers now removed. Panthere Noir could appreciate this first All-Weather attempt after struggling on soft ground.
