Verdict
Isle of Wolves, the only previous winner on show, could well trouble the judge again after tumbling to a mark of 64, having touched 78 only last October. His third at Goodwood on his penultimate start indicates some ability is still intact. Toro Dorado went down in a photo on the artificial Newcastle surface last month, a best run for some time, and will figure if equally effective returned to the grass. Cedar is coming along quite nicely on the evidence of her last three runs and conditions appear in her favour. However, TEODORA DE VEGA has shown enough in just four outings to suggest she's more than capable of getting her head in front and should have plenty more to offer as she progresses.
