In depth
Verdict
VIOLIN DAVIS has invaluable experience on her side and should be capable of beating this field of newcomers. One of two in the line-up trained by Paul Nicholls, the filly was runner-up on her Stratford debut before running reasonably well in a top grade race at Aintree. She can break her duck on ground that should suit. Stablemate Round About is from modest stock and is bred to stay forever, so she looks best watched this time. Tech Zinne is very interesting on debut, being related to plenty of winners and this trip looks an ideal starting point. Money for her would probably be significant. Lady Everywhere is another one to note on her first run.
