In depth

Verdict

Serena's Queen had a battle with subsequent winner Melody Of Life at Chelmsford and came out on top for which she's penalised. Broadway Diva couldn't get close to Evening Son on that same track and the winner has done little for the form while Sunset Memory was sold by Godolphin for 11,000gns despite making a promising debut at Newmarket in June. The owners have the newcomer WILD RHYTHM entered here and the son of Dubawi out of a Group 2 winner in Brazil may be good enough to make a winning start though the speedily-bred Ower Starlight is one to keep an eye on.
