Verdict

First Party races for the first time since Royal Ascot in June. Men United was still beaten six lengths when second at Chelmsford while Harmonic Wave doesn't appear to be improving and Mecca's Missus has found life tough since winning her maiden at Thirsk. LADY WOOTTON was only beaten a length dropped into this grade at Ripon and now looks ready to open her account with Philip Makin preferring her to stablemate Zoraida. Early Bird has raced exclusively over 6f so far and may find a couple of these too speedy.
