Verdict

Intense Romance won in testing going at Haydock recently but has a bit to find on these terms with MAGICAL DREAMER (NAP). James Fanshawe’s progressive filly won easily at Chelmsford last time but also scored on soft ground at Goodwood back in June and has every chance at the weights. Beauty Filly won a handicap at Hamilton last week but has no easy task at this level and Darkanna is preferred on last year’s success in the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar. It was fast going when Miss Bar Beach placed in Listed company at Pontefract ahead of the Irish filly Golden Spell and the latter is preferred to compatriot Amthaal. The returning Perfect Angel has a shout on last year’s best form as she debuts for new connections.
