In depth
Verdict
VERY HONEST continued her good progress when making a winning handicap debut at Goodwood. She’s upped 4lb but there looks more to come from Brett Johnson’s filly. Elusive Ellen won at Lingfield in April when last partnered by Ryan Moore though is 6lb higher today and Ginzan makes more appeal racing off the same mark as when going close at Brighton last week. Spring Fling looks stuck on her current mark and Silver Rainbow is preferred having placed at Lingfield on her recent reappearance.
