Verdict
WHITE DAFFODIL has performed with credit of late and is taken to win the opener at the expense of Quaker Parrot and Angel Of Fashion. The selection is still only lightly raced and was good enough to win on her third attempt at Nottingham back in June. Since then she has performed with credit in handicaps and looks well enough treated to win a race of this nature. Quaker Parrot has won two from eight races to date and won off a three pound lower mark at Bath in July. She was not beaten far at the same venue last time out and another bold bid is expected. Angel Of Fashion is another to note in the betting market having won at this track in July. She has been contesting in better races than this of late and has to be respected now she is dropped in grade. White Daffodil has the form behind her and ought to go very close.
