Verdict

An intriguing contest to end the day with impressive Warwick winner WASSAILING QUEEN sure to be of interest again. Colin Tizzard's mare looked badly in need of the experience that day but her class saw her through and there's more to come. The four-year-old Who's Afraid will be a tough opponent with her allowances as she looked a smart prospect when scoring over 1m5f at Newbury and shouldn't have a problem with this trip. Bellaboosh started favourite on her debut at Uttoxeter in May but couldn't cope with Pure Anticipation. The form hasn't worked out brilliantly but better is expected. There are some very interesting newcomers on show, particularly the four-year-old Diamond Smiles, who is related to numerous winners.
