Verdict

ISABELLA BRANT went close on soft going at Salisbury back in June and has been thereabouts on the all-weather recently. She’s weighted to beat Lady Scatterley on these terms and should have the measure of the remainder. Lough Salt and Rory And Me were both well beaten on their debuts on the Flat while Secret Escape, a winner over hurdles, has her first start in this code. The newcomers Kall To Alms and Mystic Dragon make little appeal on pedigree.
