      Verdict

      Foxes Tales finished second of only three runners in the Gordon Richards at Sandown and steps up in trip. Ilaraab represents last year’s winning yard having won a Group 3 over course and distance on soft going last autumn but has a bit to find on these terms. Scope ended last season with a victory in a Group 1 over a longer trip at Longchamp but ESHAADA (NAP) showed her true colours when scoring on Champions Day at Ascot in October. Roger Varian’s filly has made a winning reappearance for the last two years and won’t mind any cut in the ground. Without A Fight and Outbox are both Listed winners with a bit to prove in this company.
