Verdict

TOUR OVALIE failed to build on the promise of her Doncaster effort when second in a C&D handicap last time but she remains unexposed and is well worth another chance. Mambo Beat should have more to offer now heading into handicaps over hurdles and is second choice ahead of stablemate Grandmaster Flash.
