      Verdict

      She Got The Look showed a big improvement when third at Wolverhampton last time and can figure again but TYPEWRITTEN is preferred. The latter found only one too good over track and trip when finishing well clear of the rest and Andrew Balding’s yard is in fine form. Opticality steps up in trip after a better effort over a mile at Kempton while Cerulean never figured here on his debut for new connections and is fitted with a tongue-tie. Kaahira is related to Winter Derby winner Dubai Warrior among others and is a newcomer to note.
