        Verdict

        A weak maiden in which few can be seriously fancied can go to Drama Of Life who hails from the in-form yard of John Gosden. A Royal Academy half sister to the high class 1992 dual Guineas and Champion Stakes hero Rodrigo de Triano, she ran green on her sole outing as a juvenile but still showed enough to suggest that she will be up to winning races of this nature. Icaressa has clearly had her problems as this four-year-old will be having only her third start in public and was a distant third on the all-weather last time so may well struggle against the potential of the selection while the remainder will need to show significant improvement on what they have shown to date.
