In depth

Verdict

Ben's Turn looks a smart prospect and is taken to maintain her unbeaten record at the expense of Twist The Facts once again, while of the newcomers Miss Chippy makes some appeal. Ben's Turn was recording her second victory when beating Twist The Facts by two lengths at Fontwell earlier in the month, and although strictly at the weights Twist The Facts should reverse the form, Ben's Turn was still fairly green that day, wandering inside the final furlong, and gave the impression there is still a good deal more to come. Oliver Sherwood has a fair record in these races, but his newcomer Quotable makes little appeal on breeding and of more interest could be Tom George's Miss Chippy. By Mister Lord, she is related to several winners and any market support for her could be well worth noting, but we feel it will take a good one to lower the colours of Ben's Turn and she gets the vote.
