        Verdict

        Dandizette never threatened the winner when runner-up at Thirsk though still finished in front of Comeatchoo and The Ginger Bullet. Queens Blade and Mecca's Hot Steps look likely improvers but DONCASTER ROSA caught the eye making up late ground when second at Beverley on her debut and Ivan Furtado’s filly can go one better with that experience to draw on. She’s preferred to stablemate Ambyfaeirvine while Mr Gus and Romero represent powerful northern yards and are preferred to She Looks Like Fun and Puffthemagicdragon of the newcomers.
