Verdict

Million Reasons was winning for the first time on Turf when scoring over the minimum trip at Bath while Connie's Rose was winning for the first time anywhere when successful over a longer trip here. Coolagh Magic has done all his winning so far on the all-weather while Soldier's Son went close here last month but is still a maiden after 29 attempts. TAWAAFOQ hasn’t looked like winning recently but that was the case when popping-up at 11/1 in this race last year off a 9lb higher mark and he gets a speculative vote.
