Verdict
This Is For You was sent of favourite dropped in class at Windsor last time but found one too good. Just Glamorous is steadily improving and this shorter trip should suit having led for a long way over 6f here last time. But AL KHATEYA also gave the impression today's minimum trip would suit when fading in the closing stages over 6f at Windsor on her debut and the Hannon filly gets the nod. The remainder have shown little to inspire confidence in their chances.
