Verdict

Having been beaten only a length on her recent handicap debut over 1m2f, SENSE OF PRIDE steps straight up to this much longer trip. However, her stamina-packed pedigree suggests it will be no problem and John Gosden's filly looks potentially well handicapped. Tappanappa is another expected to appreciate this test of stamina after going close over 1m4f at Haydock last month, while Newbury winner High On A Hill can do better back on a faster surface after a poor effort in soft gound last time. Trovare could make the frame again and Mildoura should also be thereabouts with a recent run under her belt.
