Verdict

SAFE HARBOR showed something to work on when third on debut at Chelmsford last month and with improvement expected, she gets a tentative vote ahead of Emilia Casanova who is bred to be useful and could be worth another chance following a very slow start last time. Ritaal should appreciate the step back up to 7f on first start for new yard, while Let Her Go can improve second time up. Any support for the newcomers should be noted in a winnable novice.
