In depth

Verdict

DECLARING LOVE placed in three of four outings for Godolphin and debuts for new connections. Rated 80, she should have the measure of these despite the absence and is preferred to stablemate Greyed First. Mellys Flyer showed some promise when third at Southwell on his debut but both Time Frame and Ronan Accuser failed to show any progress on their latest starts. Pinball Wizard made only a moderate debut over 6f but pedigree suggests this extra distance will suit.
