Verdict
Catherine Of Siena had been progressing with each run and got off the mark in convincing fashion when making all over 6f here a month ago. EXCESSO VELOCIDAD pulled very hard in the early stages on her debut also over that trip a fortnight ago and led at halfway. She stayed on well when challenged and normal progress can see her remain unbeaten. Maggie Mcgrath was in touch for a long way in that latter event and did better when tackling this trip in three runs in September. The remainder make little appeal though Akeela is a half-sister to two winning sprinters.
