Verdict
Rostova won a handicap at Newmarket last month with Holy Grail back in third and Sir Michael Stoute’s charge should go well again. But, after a couple of placed efforts, the penny dropped with LAUGH ALOUD (NAP) at Windsor last time where she won a maiden race by seven lengths. John Gosden’s Godolphin filly is worth sticking with in this given further progress is expected. Stosur won over 7f at Chelmsford earlier this month under today’s apprentice and is preferred to Marsh Pride and Starlit Cantata on these terms.
