Verdict
A disappointing turn out for the prize money on offer. Whitbarrow was a most progressive juvenile scoring on four occasions including the Group 3 Molecomb before having his limitations exposed towards the backend and faces no easy task under top weight on his return. Donegal Shore ran consistently in fairly useful company last term and will appreciate the extra furlong after staying on strongly over the minimum behind Lady Dominatrix on her reappearance last month. Mitsuki will find this more to her liking after being outclassed in Listed company on her last two outings and looks best of the rest despite being 2lb out of the handicap.
