Verdict
Lavinia's Grace comes here with the formbook in her favour but the ground has to be an imponderable in a race to watch rather than bet upon. Nuit Sombre is bred to want further so a tentative vote goes to Tim Easterby's Magic Myth. Her breeding suggests that she should be able to handle the going and she is well related to some likely types including Flanders.
