In depth

Verdict

Apparently will be fancied to go one better than on debut at Brighton but this is a much more competitive affair with several others having already shown promise. Calling was third here in June and Zipp only found one too good over track and trip last time. BOHEMIAN DANCE finished ahead of the latter at Newbury in the spring, however, and suggested a victory was imminent when a close third at the Berkshire track last time. Sir Michael Stoute's filly looks to have the best form so gets the nod.
