In depth
Verdict
Astrogem has looked high enough in the weights since landing a double over 7f while Zulu Girl ran below par at Goodwood attempting to land a hat-trick. Arabian Romance faced a tougher task at York last time and is one to consider while Turandot scored over track and trip in July and is preferred to stablemate Genetique. Libby Ami is upped in class and New Exceed drops down in distance but SUBTLE BEAUTY makes her handicap debut after winning a maiden race at Leicester in a first-time tongue-tie and there looks more to come.
