Verdict

Luck Be A Lady represents a trainer in form and gets the vote in this fillies maiden. Plucky and Lan Kwai Fong make it to the shortlist. Jeremy Noseda has his stable in great form and having cost 400,000 guineas, connections will be hoping for some form of repayment although obviously the plan will be long-term. She was green on debut but with nominal improvement, she may take some beating. Lan Kwai Fong represents a trainer who likes to win at York so may come on for that debut effort, as may Plucky who represents a powerful stable. Sweet Clover is another who seems to be improving with racing, whilst Fluffy should come on for that recent run but certainly needs to. The market will help, however Luck Be A Lady gets the nod.
