      Verdict

      Pulcheria was sent off odds-on at Leicester on her debut but finished last of three. Better is expected from the Godolphin filly while Ephrata and Loquace were also well beaten on their respective debuts. Destiny Queen is related to a Listed winner and is preferred to White Wave but ZESTFUL is a half-sister to a Listed winner in France and gets a speculative vote to make a winning start with Ryan Moore doing the steering.
