      Verdict

      Decent Turf form is thin on the ground in this but several of these have won on the all-weather. Pick of the bunch may be the unbeaten Godolphin filly BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION, who was giving the runner-up 14lb last time at Chelmsford. Southwell scorer Finery is respected being similarly unexposed with Made In Italy preferred to the maiden Virgin Snow. Rainbow Jet has experience of the surface but looked a bit one-paced last year.
