Verdict

SEREN STAR developed a good strike rate in her first year of racing and gets the verdict on her return now back handicapping. Dunkeld Dreamer has improved for front-running of late and should give another good account if adopting similar tactics, while the lightly-raced Plaid can also make her presence felt.
