        held up, headway hung left and carried head awkwardly from over 1f out, quickened to lead inside final furlong, ran on

        In depth

        Verdict

        None of these inspire much confidence. SERENDIB'S GLORY was last of six here on her handicap debut but not beaten far in a higher grade than this and Julia Feilden's filly could figure. Aksum may have improved from a modest reappearance effort over 5f while Guapo Bay and Intimately have both been placed on numerous occasions though have yet to win a race between them. Music Major was runner-up here last month but beaten five lengths while Opera Buff remains on the same mark despite a couple of poor runs.
