      Verdict

      Graceland is usually in the mix at this level but is hard to win with while Lovely Story has not won anywhere yet but can race off a lower mark back on Turf. Persun is not getting any closer, despite slipping down the weights, but Hestina posted a better effort when runner-up at Leicester and there should be more to come from her. That comment also applies to DAWN HORIZONS, only third at Goodwood when bidding for a hat-trick but clear of the rest – the Haggas filly can return to winning ways in this.
