In depth
Verdict
A highly competitive event with a number of lightly raced and progressive performers including Pearl Dance who caused a shock winning debut over this trip at Goodwood defeating some well regarded individuals. John Gosden's filly can only improve and should be thereabouts while Mail The Desert was a comfortable Windsor winner on her bow and is another entitled to plenty of respect. Sandown scorer Duty Paid along with the promising pair of Tease and Gallivant are others to consider in an open heat.
