        Verdict

        Plenty of guesswork involved despite the presence of FLAWLESS BEAUTY. She'd win this with a bit to spare if reproducing her debut second at Ascot in July but her ability to handle the surface has to be taken on trust and she ran below par last time. Loch Moy could be the one to take advantage if Hugo Palmer's filly disappoints again as he's been placed in both starts, including on soft ground at Haydock on his introduction. The remainder have shown only moderate form so far though Mizyen and Surge Ahead look likely improvers and the newcomer Chocolate Block is worth a second glance in the betting.
