In depth
Verdict
Plenty of these are open to improvement but none more so than Waaedah, who edges the vote over Menfee and Jedburgh - with Moscow Mary appealing as the best of the rest. However, Waaedah, showed a great attitude when ridding herself of the maiden tag here in July and will be very difficult to master if she hits the gates running here. The Mick Channon -trained filly has to be forgiven her latest start, where she failed to get competitive after stumbling soon after the start, and is better judged on her previous Epsom effort. The form of that race looks solid in the context of this race and the daughter of Halling is given a confident vote.
