Verdict

VALIDATOR had no problem handling soft ground at Thirsk last month when returning a clear winner. The Haggas filly is taken to defy a penalty with further progress on the cards and the opposition encountering today’s going for the first time. Looks A Million showed ability when runner-up at Goodwood last week but one of the newcomers may prove a bigger threat. Of those, Utterly Charming is a sister to the smart sprinter Extortionist, Star Of Siena is a half-sister to a winner in France and Glaceon is another to note representing the Hannon yard.
