In depth

Verdict

Duchess Andorra finished runner-up four times in succession but appears to have gone backwards despite not being beaten far in her last two starts. She won't get many better opportunities than this though QUARTZ looks the one to be on. Related to numerous winners including KIngsbarns and Belle Artiste, he looked in need of the experience on his debut at Bellewstown and should improve enough to get off the mark. The betting may tell us more about the remainder but Emiest Rose is the third foal of a mare who has produced two winners and she could be decent.
