Verdict

With improvement on the cards now handicapping, SPLASHING OUT looks the way to go. She has shown plenty of ability in maiden/novice company and is probably capable of a good deal better than her current mark implies. Nemean's form figures in this sphere are hardly inspiring but he remains capable of better judged on his form on the Flat and is second choice ahead of Ashton Court, who could be a factor on his debut for the Gordon Elliott yard.
