Verdict

BEHOLDING finished a long way behind the winner when third at Kempton on her debut. But she ran green before making up late ground and is receiving weight from the four-year-old Basic Beauty. The latter was having her first start of the year when placing over track and trip with Independence well beaten and the Godolphin filly looks the main threat given the remainder have yet to show any worthwhile form.
