        Verdict

        NATURAL SCENERY continued her good progress with a victory over 1m4f here last month. A half-sister to a winner over hurdles, the Godolphin filly is fancied to last home over this longer trip and confirm latest running with Masterpaver. London Prize won over today’s trip at Newbury in October when landing the first leg of a double while Zakatal won over 2m at Wolverhampton last year and has notched up a string of seconds since. Hot Beat won over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last time and the import from Germany is another expected to stay this extra distance.
