Verdict

BESS OF HARDWICK has not raced since May but was only a couple of lengths behind subsequent Group 2 Park Hill winner Gretchen on her debut at Newmarket. She looks the one to beat on that form despite her absence. Pure Line has the edge on Muwalaah on today's terms though both are making a meal of winning one of these events with several placed efforts between them while Blue Sea Of Ibrox remains without a win in 27 starts under NH Rules though went close on only her second outing on the Flat last time. The newcomer Red Cardinal is related to a smart winner in France and could go well.
