In depth
Verdict
SHASTA DAISY went very close despite finishing only third on her racecourse debut on the Polytrack. Lady Cecil's filly can put that experience to good use and is just preferred to Stereo Love. The latter found only one too good at Nottingham in October and that looks stronger form than Rocksee's placed efforts at Wolverhampton. Newcomers to note for any significant support include Cape Karli and Lisanor, as well as the Cheveley Park-owned Royal Seal.
