In depth
Verdict
Siena Gold looks the one to be on here ahead of possibly Unreal. Siena Gold has always been well-regarded by her powerful yard and she justified that view when storming to victory on her Newmarket debut. She is rated Queen Mary material by her powerful yard and will need to win here to justify that hope. The second from the race she won won well at York yesterday. Barry Hills won this race last year with La Cucuracha so watch the betting with regard to his filly, Unreal, who is related to seven winners. Spirit Of Chester is also related to winners, but Indiannie Star does not seem one of the more-obvious types for this on breeding. There is a mixture of influences in the pedigree of Bentley's Bush, but Polly Alexander has done little wrong so far in winning two of her three races. However, this presents her with her toughest task to date and she will be doing well to handle Siena Gold, who is a fairly confident selection.
