Verdict

A small but select band and we are with Glamorous Spirit against Moss Likely and April Pride. Jeremy Noseda's string seem to be in fair nick at present and the dogs were certainly barking the right tune when she hosed up at Ascot as a well backed favourite. A repeat makes her tough to beat. Moss Likely represents a yard that have had a good few years in this contest. The form of that Lingfield victory was given a big boost by Rebecca De Winter last week. April Pride was a slight disappointment at Salisbury. She holds entries in all the big juvenile races this term. Sally's Dilemma has not gone on for her Brocklesby success. Excitable and Madison Belle have been set stiff tasks on introduction and are best avoided unless the market suggests otherwise. Glamorous Spirit looks best of this bunch.
