Verdict
Sweet Dragon Fly was beaten by the narrowest of margins when runner-up at Wolverhampton on last month's debut. She has obvious claims if handling the testing ground but it was soft going when NORSE MAGIC finished runner-up at Newbury in October and she gets the nod with Ryan Moore doing the steering today. Kylla Instinct is more exposed than the above but still went very close at Wolverhampton when last seen while Emerald Loch represents an in-form yard and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
