        Verdict

        This looks to be a tight handicap but Grand Symphony can land the prize at the main expense of Coconut Queen and Ella Y Rossa. The last mentioned did win well last time when beating Beau Sancy at Wolverhampton and her stable are in good form at present. However, she has never won on the turf before and although she should run her race, we are happy to take her on today. Coconut Queen ran well when last seen out at Catterick when she chased home Laurentina. However, that was over 7f and she was massive disappointment when she finished well down the field on her only previous try over today's distance. Grand Symphony is actually making her turf debut today but she is a lightly-raced filly and she has shown enough on her four starts on the all-weather to set the benchmark for the rest here. She tackles this trip for the first time but that should suit and she will get maximum assistance from the saddle with Paul Hanagan booked for the ride. This is a race that should not take a great deal of winning and we think Grand Symphony will be up to the task.
