Verdict

FEACH AMACH was arguably a shade fortunate when opening her account at Sedgefield but that still represented a significant step forward and she is taken to follow up on this handicap debut. She may have most to fear from Starevitch, who needs to get back on track now reverting to hurdles but it's entirely possible that he will do just that off this reduced mark. Angel's Dream and One Last Glance are others to consider.
