Verdict
Ken's Sam's is a regular around here and has scored three times though it's taken 24 runs to reach that total. TY ROCK BRANDY is 1-11 on the track but she's also won four times at Wolverhampton. She arrives in good form and didn't quite get the run of the race three weeks ago so can gain compensation. Ever Rock, three times a winner on Turf for Stan Moore, makes her debut on the track for new connections but is 0-9 on the all-weather in the UK while Pillar, four times a winner on Turf, continues to frustrate and is now 0-26 on the all-weather. Noirvento is generally thereabouts on Turf but is another newcomer to the surface while Blastofmagic has won around here and has changed stables.
