      Verdict

      Rated 74, Agnes Grey looks the pick of those with experience and she will almost certainly have needed her run at Thirsk 12 days ago. Knights Affair still has a bit of scope but there is likely to be a plenty of market interest in Newmarket raider MEZZO SOPRANO. She is a full sister to dual 6f winner Cool Lightning and the Crisfords appear to have found a weak affair in which to introduce her to racing.
