Verdict
Finial has shown definite signs of ability and finished ahead of debutante Belle Dormant when sixth at Newbury last time. Taqneyya could be interesting as she was slowly away on debut at Newmarket and then ran green. But YA LATIF can recoup losses incurred at Doncaster last month when she didn't quite appear to get home over 1m. The drop in trip has to be in her favour and she still holds entries in a couple of Group races later this autumn. Skylight's half-sister Dance Express won over this trip on her debut so she's a newcomer to note but Starring Guest may do better in a nursery.
