        Verdict

        Aunt Bethany and PERSIST fought it out for the places behind what looked like a smart winner at Salisbury and the latter may just be better suited by the surface here so gets the nod to turn the tables. Chichen Itza's dam has had winners with her first three foals to race and Sir Michael Stoute's filly looks certain to join them after a very promising debut at Leicester. Social Contact is a half-sister to two winners and one to note while Hooked On You cost 130,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to a Group 1 winner and a Listed winner. Never Say Nay is a half-sister to three winners and is another to keep an eye on.
