Verdict

None of these fillies can be dismissed out of hand in a tight contest though novice winner Alandalos, I'lletyougonow, Clara Peeters and Al Messila were all beaten when last racing in a handicap. Three make their handicap debuts including Lady Bowthorpe, who scored over 7f at Lingfield last month, while the remaining pair are closely matched. Loving Glance finished just ahead of MAGICAL RHYTHMS when filling the places at Newmarket earlier and both took part in separate divisions of the same novice event at Kempton last time. The former came up just short but the Gosden filly prevailed and gets a tentative vote to go in again here.
