      Verdict

      Betterment has plenty of experience and all of the others hail from powerful yards. BRIGHTLY, who is by Sea The Stars out of a Frankel mare, ran green at Kempton but still shaped with promise and may have improved enough to see off Princess Niyla, an eye-catcher when third at Lingfield, and the Godolphin pair Reflective Star and Queen Of Fairies. James Doyle opts the latter, who is by Cracksman out of a Group 3 winner in Ireland, even though she is unraced. The Ivy and Latest Edition may do better next year.
