In depth
Verdict
Copper Falls hinted at ability when fourth on her debut at Leicester but is up against a few newcomers who probably have more long-term potential. Spring Daisy is a half-sister to three winning sprinters, while Factory Time is by the speedy Baltic King and cost 20,000 guineas as a foal. But the one to beat may be WORTH, who represents a yard with a good record here with its juveniles. The Indesatchel filly may want a bit further in time but should be sharp enough to make her presence felt in this company.
