In depth

Verdict

Little strength in depth in a race that should take little winning. Jewel Of Troyes showed the benefit of experience when putting up a much improved display when a staying-on fourth in a Windsor maiden despite being hampered in the clsoing stages. Michael Bell's filly looks capable of making further progress and has been found an easy opportunity with Monksford, who has finished in the frame in similar events on his last two starts, the main threat.
