Verdict
Capellina was staying on behind Francophone over course and distance last month and should again beat Flow So Gently. Francophone’s stablemate Individualism was second here in July and placed again at Leicester last month but Respectful needs more and, like Inspiring Speeches, may do better in handicaps. After finishing second on debut at Sandown, Colorada Dancer paid the price for helping set too strong a pace at Thirsk but VOLTERRA (NAP) can improve past the Fahey colt with his fourth in a hot maiden at York having already been franked.
