        Verdict

        Ladys First just managed to hold off Dank in a Listed race at Haydock last month and they're closely matched on that running. Moone's My Name, Villeneuve and a below par Irish History were all well behind in the same race but FALLS OF LORA had earlier beaten Ladys First over C&D despite giving her 6lb. The Godolphin filly has since been defeated over 1m2f in France but gets the tentative vote back at this track. Clinical has claims on her seasonal debut win at Epsom while Making Eyes picked up a Listed race in France in July but this is tougher. Gathering has yet to threaten in Pattern company while the likes of Dalkova, Princess Of Orange and Sweetnessandlight all step up in class.
