Verdict
Soul Of Motion has something to prove now having followed up a promising debut at Epsom with a poor effort at Sandown and first-time blinkers are applied. MERLETTA makes more appeal as she ran better at Doncaster than her finishing position of sixth suggests and Jeremy Noseda's filly gets the vote. Zawiyah and Exceed And Exceed have some improving to do to match the selection while Excellent Royale and Master Of Alkmaar make most appeal of the newcomers.
