Verdict
Goddess of Fire hinted at ability in a big field at Newmarket and will know more today. She has the plum draw but MALOTRU hails from a yard going great guns and his dam was at her best on an artificial surface so Marco Botti’s colt can make a winning debut. Nat Love may need the experience but Fumbleintheforest could go well at a price despite being a cheap buy.
