soon tracking leader, led over 2f out, ridden and headed over 1f out, no extra and lost close home
chased leaders on outside, pushed along 4f out, ridden and weakened inside final 3f, tailed off and eased

held up last, pushed along before halfway, 4th and one pace final furlong
All of these can be given a chance of sorts but AKVAVERA finished runner-up in a higher grade over today’s trip at York last time and Ralph Beckett’s filly is taken to go one better in this. Chantresse also found only one too good at Yarmouth last week but is upped in class along with Nottingham runner-up Angelina D'Or. The latter makes most appeal of that pair while the remaining trio all step up in distance with Sir Michael Stoute’s Admired preferred to Vera Drake and Railport given her dam won a Listed race over 1m2f in Italy and she’ll have come on for a recent reappearance at Goodwood.
