In depth

Verdict

Aussie Stormer was no match for the winner when second at Windsor though finished a long way in front of Jazzy Socks. Navajo Spring was placed at Beverley without threatening having failed to match an earlier second at Newcastle when ELECTRIC BLUE finished behind. But the latter has her first start since and with improvement expected and Ryan Moore taking over the reins, she may well reverse running. Starseed could figure back on the all-weather and is preferred to Hotalena.
