Verdict
Kentucky Rose has stronger form than Pasha Bay though failed to show any improvement at Haydock last time so this can go to a newcomer. Intriguing Lady is fitted with a hood for her debut but Bitcoin Ranger is a half-brother to a couple of winners and NO GUTS NO GLORY is related to five winners - a chance is taken on Adrian Nicholls’ filly.
