      Verdict

      Quite a decent race for the grade and STORMY ROAD (NAP) is chosen in the hope that she will appreciate this 2f step-up in trip. Her debut run when a good second in a Newmarket maiden reads as the best form on offer and she's preferred to fellow filly, Loving Pearl, runner-up on both starts to date and seemingly sure to see this mile trip out well. Al Mortajaz is starting to look vulnerable but continues to deliver a solid account whilst Queen of Jumeirah should improve for her debut but does have a deal to find on available evidence. Just Later requires a market check.
