Verdict

A couple of these stand out as they drop back in distance. COSMOPOLITAN GIRL found one too good at Newmarket last time having failed to pick-up in the final furlong and Ed Walker's filly is just preferred on today's terms to Alshalaal. The latter posted his best effort so far when second at Haydock recently. Dream Destination looks best of the rest on his placed effort at Windsor while the newcomer Lee's Hall is related to a couple of winners in Italy.
