Verdict
Kempton winner Via Corone is preferred to Glory Lily of the two Godolphin fillies but she may struggle to get the better of GIRL RACER (NAP) off level weights. The Haggas runner caught the eye when sixth in Nell Gwyn at Newmarket as she was hampered at the start and also in the race itself. Tajalat made a promising start at Yarmouth and can only improve while Ronni Scott, a half-sister to a winner over this trip, is another worth noting.
