    Verdict

    Sadly just the four runners for this valuable juvenile contest and STAR OF MYSTERY (NAP) will take the beating given she's clear at the weights and the manner in which she went about her business in the Listed Empress Stakes over track and trip a fortnight ago. Persian Dreamer came up short in the Albany at Ascot but should have the measure of Thanksbutnothanks on these terms while Woodhay Wonder showed improved form to pick up a novice event at Newbury but this is a sizeable leap up in class.
