Previous results

In depth

Verdict

PERSIAN BLUE found one too good over the minimum trip last time but is a half-sister to a Group 3 winner over today’s longer distance and the Haggas filly can open her account in this. On Song gets closer with every start but It's Showtime failed to show any progress last month and Romanee may prove a bigger threat having debuted in a tougher race than this at Newbury.
