Verdict

Most have these are entered in the 1000 Guineas including all three representing the Gosdens’ yard. The Godolphin filly Bridestones and Frankie’s mount Soul Sister both made winning debuts with the former preferred over today’s trip but Fully Wet was well beaten by MAGICAL SUNSET in the Listed Radley Stakes over track and trip in October. Richard Hannon’s filly will relish the underfoot conditions and is just preferred to Olivia Maralda. The latter’s best effort last year was a second at the Curragh to Meditate, who currently heads the betting for the 1000 Guineas, while Swingalong won the Lowther at York and steps up in trip on her return. Novice winners Remarquee, Stenton Glider and Embrace all try their luck at this higher level.
