In depth
Verdict
Most of those with racecourse experience have shown nothing worthy of a mention. The exception is CINCUENTA PASOS, who found only one too good over 6f here last time when giving the impression today's longer trip would suit. He gets the nod, though one of the newcomers may prove good enough to get involved. Normanna, a half-sister to the useful Rockinante, is preferred to stablemate Speechday, while Why Not Now is related to Group 3 winning sprinter Definightly. But Dansante makes most appeal of the debutantes as she's a half-sister to Winter Derby winner Scintillo amongst others.
