Verdict

DERIVATIVES failed to land the odds here a fortnight ago but should make no mistake this time. She was beaten only a short-head with the re-opposing Coral Sands 12 lengths back in third and John Gosden's filly can outclass these. Aqua Ardens posted a better effort when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time, though he's still some way behind the likely favourite on form and the newcomer Madam Joy makes no appeal on breeding.
