    Verdict

    CHERRY found only a subsequent Listed winner too good when second at Doncaster and drops back down in trip weighted to beat Eastern Empress. The latter showed some improvement at Kempton and also returns to a shorter distance while Imperial Quarter moves in the opposite direction having debuted over a mile at Newmarket. Heavens To Betsy is a sister to a winner while La Francesa is a half-sister to the Listed winner Savvy Victory.
