      Verdict

      It was soft going when TUDOR QUEEN finished third at Ripon on her debut. The form is working out well given she separated a couple of subsequent winners and this faster surface may well suit. Ardbraccan wasn’t beaten that far at Kempton and is preferred to stablemate and debutante Isemel but other newcomers are worth noting. Inspiral and Another Romance are both related to several winners while Calm Skies and National Dance represent Godolphin and the latter is the first foal of a Group 2 winner in France.
