Verdict

A very good turnout for a nice prize. Antilope Du Seuil has completed a hat-trick at Perth in comfortable fashion and will be fancied again but the tough DUCKWEED may have her measure. Jessica Harrington's mare has won over three miles though her style of running suggests this is her trip and she can see off the likely favourite. Thanks For Tea is progressing nicely and followed up her Gowran victory with a comfortable success at Cork and this is her optimum trip. What A Jewel won a maiden for Nicky Henderson at Towcester in the style of a smart mare and Eoin Doyle can get more improvement out of her.
