In depth
Verdict
Danvers is the choice in modest looking fillies maiden, Fifty and Town And Gown could provide most danger. John Dunlop's juveniles tend to improve with racing and this daughter of Cape Cross will not have to progress too much to land this prize. She started slowly but improved throughout the contest to finish a close up ftfth behind Dream day at Kempton. She looks certain to come on for that run and gets a confident vote. Fifty has been contesting much stronger races than this so has to be feared now down to class five company. John Gosden's Town And Gown boasts a terrific pedigree but hasn't shown too much as yet. But the stable always have to be respected here and it would be no surprise to see this one go well. Gower Belle has solid enough form to warrant a mention here, but Danvers should come on leaps and bounds and she gets the verdict.
