Verdict
Dont Have It Then has shown promise and Kieren Fallon is a positive booking while Value showed massive improvement to score at Leicester and is certain to continue her progress. CHESS VALLEY also won at Leicester and landed some nice bets in the process. She's well regarded and looks nicely treated so can remain unbeaten. Classic Pursuit did everything right at Windsor, showing the pace to stay in touch before staying on strongly. She'll be thereabouts and looks the main threat.
