Verdict

Polemica loves it around here and though her latest success was gained over 7f she scored over 5f in February. Forever's Girl ran a rare poor race when favourite here in February and has been given a break. She's much better than that though she's now on her highest-ever mark. STARCLASS, a very easy maiden winner at Salisbury in June, is making her debut on the all-weather but looks to have a touch of quality about her and Walter Swinburn should have her ready to strike here. Bella Noir made a spectacular winning debut on softish ground at Newcastle in August and, though well beaten on her only subsequent start at Newbury, she obviously goes well fresh.
