In depth
Verdict
The claimer can go to Golden Heart, with Hurricane Coast and Yorker seen as the main dangers. Golden Heart carries most weight here but should be up to the task based on earlier efforts. David Elsworth's charge landed a fillies' maiden at Salisbury in June and looked set to go on to better things. However, she has failed to progress since, although to be fair, has taken on better company. The drop to this level so nearly had the desired effect at Goodwood recently, but the filly went down by the narrowest of margins. A similar effort now should suffice and she will be fancied in the ring. Yorker has deteriorated over the past year, and a bigger danger can be Hurricane Coast who has dropped down the ratings since winning a Redcar maiden last year. The rest are hard to fancy and Golden Heart is a solid pick.
