        Verdict

        Swift Approval finished in front of previous winner Shyron when winning over today’s trip at Lingfield and Dragon Mall went close over 7f in this grade at Newcastle last time. Third Time Lucky was placed behind the progressive Goring over a longer trip last month while Holiday Magic found one only too good in a decent handicap at Southwell. But STAR QUALITY is the least exposed and, having just missed out attempting to make all over a mile at Wolverhampton, Dave Loughnane’s filly should make a bold bid with further progress on the cards.
