      Verdict

      Under The Covers produced a terrific turn of foot to win going away over 5f at Goodwood last week and is a useful sprinter when everything goes her way. She has a penalty to overcome here but can’t be ignored. Show Stealer won twice on fast ground at Bath last month but couldn’t cope with a weight rise when chasing a hat-trick at Ascot. Magical Dreamer will find this easier than the Group 3 she contested at York while the three-year-olds Zip Along and Queens Gift are improving fast. GORGEOUS NOORA is closely matched with Magical Dreamer on the form book but holds Maid In India and she had more in hand than the margin suggests when successful at Newmarket last time.
