Verdict

A few look to have decent claims in this. Lady Of Longstone has got her act together but has gone up another 9lb since her Kempton victory and has never won on ground this soft and looks held by Woodland Walk on a line through Lily Waugh. Coco Des Champs is still a maiden but has gone close on a couple of occasions and won’t be far away if handling conditions. At First Light has won three times since June but Flute Bowl disappointed at Huntingdon last time and Barton Rose couldn't justify favouritism in a seller at Stratford. BRISE VENDEENNE was long odds-on at Musselburgh but could only manage second. However, she may have found that 2m trip too short and is better judged on an earlier run behind the smart Hollie's Pearl at Chepstow – she is probably the one to beat on that form.
