Verdict
WOODLANDS CHARM won at Ripon before encountering soft going at Goodwood and finishing only third. She gets another chance back on a faster surface today. Soi Dao went close in a maiden race at Bath and is upped in distance while Romantic Memories placed when dropped down to today’s trip at Salisbury. Musical Mystery may do better back in a handicap for this while Lingfield winner Essencial debuts on Turf.
