Verdict

The improving Gypsy Whisper easily justified favouritism over track and trip last month but has been raised 7lb. Queen Of Silca ran very well at Goodwood and has done little wrong this season while it’s a only a matter of time before Portugueseprincess wins a handicap, though she could have been better drawn today. Nehaall disappointed on her only previous start on Turf but she is probably worth another chance and Kwela should run her race again. Early exertions took their toll on FANTAIL at Newmarket last time but she has a good chance of putting that behind her if she settles better today.
