Verdict
NEVER ENDING STORY is certain to improve from her narrow defeat in a similar race over 6f here last month and the fourth has won subsequently. Aspen Grove, who finished fifth, was by no means given a hard time and looks certain to improve enough to get closer. Sandy Creek, a daughter of Frankel and related to the smart Stone Age, is a newcomer to note as is Danvers Gold, a 320,000gns Galileo filly out of a Group 3 winner. The selection's stable companion Dower House is by Galileo and a full sister to the brilliant Churchill and Group 1 winner Clemmie.
