        Verdict

        Inspiritus was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Windsor and TORCHLIGHT was no match for the unbeaten English Rose at Kempton. But the Gosdens’ filly finished in front of both Abbey Gardens and Flindrikin on that occasion and any further progress can see her off the mark. The newcomer and gelding King‘s Vanity is the first foal of a Group 3 winner.
