      Verdict

      Sharp Style beat Victors Lady by a length at Windsor in June but Bob Cowell’s filly, who was slowly away that day, enjoys a massive turnaround in the weights despite Gabriele Malune taking 5lb off the top weight. FAIRY FALCON, a half-sister to smart sprinters Tangerine Trees and Alpha Delphini, was backed off the boards on her debut at Ayr in May but ran green and could only manage third, though she wasn’t beaten far. She’s been given time to mature and the drop back to 5f should be to her advantage given her pedigree. Madam Devious was third to a subsequent winner here in May and it’s possible that cheekpieces will help her put a modest showing at Doncaster behind her. Her Lady Grace may prove the pick of the newcomers.
