Verdict

John Gosden looks to have the key to this with SPARKLE ROLL and Kesia. The former is undoubtedly the form pick on her close third behind her stable companion Star Catcher and Fleeting in the Ribblesdale. Kesia, who cost 300,000gns, made a hugely promising debut at Ascot and there's much more to come while Love So Deep wasn't beaten far in the Ribblesdale when having to come wide so can get closer. Four White Socks got going too late in a 1m4f Group 3 at Cork and may do better over 1m6f while Dance Legend was narrowly beaten in a Pontefract Listed contest and takes on better class rivals.
