Verdict
THE IVY was no match for a Godolphin winner when third at Southwell but may prove good enough with normal progress. Evenstar also placed at Southwell on her debut and steps up in trip along with Copy Artist while Marinara ran well for second at Chantilly on a trip over to France in November and is another to consider. Valkyrian has had four starts in Ireland and debuts for a new yard.
