      Verdict

      Most can be given a chance though both Lunar Bird and SHAGPYLE are penalised . But the latter’s debut victory came on soft ground at Ascot and she ran well again when runner-up at Haydock last month. Cherry failed to land the odds at Windsor and steps up in trip along with Sabriel and Sea Theme while the newcomers Franberri and Alrashaka are both Frankel fillies and the former is a half-sister to a Group 3 winner.
