Verdict

NODSASGOODASAWINK scored on fast ground at Catterick and all three later runs were also on very quick going so it remains to be seen how she handles today's surface, though she's the one to beat on current form. Johnny Estella has had two starts on the all-weather and another on fast going at Doncaster so he's another untested on the ground. Greycious Girl couldn't quicken at Chepstow last month but at least handled the soft conditions which will be an advantage here. Twentysharesofgrey was having her first start on Turf when last of four at Brighton but wasn't beaten far and is 8lb lower than at the start of the year.
