Verdict
Love And Be Loved made all over the trip at Salisbury and though that was at a lower level and she's 5lb higher this isn't much tougher. FIRE PALACE has only won on the all-weather but produced her best run on Turf when just failing to hold Off Art on soft ground at Doncaster and with just 1lb extra to contend with can go one better. Magic Mirror ran well when third on her only start on this track in June though her best form is at Kempton but Sandy Shores has to be considered on last month's victory at Windsor and she failed to last out 1m2f there next time. Waves ran her best race for a while behind Fastnet Spin at Ffos Las and a big run by the winner in the previous race would point to her chances.
