City Tour won an amateurs’ race at Windsor last time but Going Gone is preferred given he escapes a penalty having landed an apprentices’ race at Epsom by over four lengths. Spring Glow never looked like catching the winner when third over track and trip but Beating All may finish closer dropping down in class. QUILTED opened her account upped to today’s trip at Thirsk with a subsequent winner back in third and the Frankel filly gets the vote with further progress expected now handicapping.
