Verdict

Gorgeous Noora is 7lb higher than when winning at Newmarket earlier and was subsequently beaten at Haydock by the progressive ZIP ALONG. The latter also beat Maid In India on that occasion and hasn’t stopped improving yet with Richard Fahey’s filly expected to make a bold bid for a four-timer. The selection’s stablemate Queen Penn won over 7f in soft going at Thirsk recently but the consistent Goodnight Girl is now 13lb higher than when last successful and Procedure looks to be treading water off her current mark.
