Verdict

Mendacious Harpy’s recent double came in Jersey and she will find this more difficult. This is also tougher than the classified stakes won by Candesta at Beverley last time and TOUCH OF COLOR is preferred as she went close to opening her account when runner-up at Brighton last time. Zlatan has similar claims to the selection having found only one too good at Ffos Las recently but last month’s Chepstow winner Carcharias failed to figure off a higher mark at Chelmsford on his latest start.
