Verdict
Balancing Act was third off this mark at Beverley nine days ago but she has much to prove on Tapeta. A similar comment applies to dual Hamilton winner Lady Celia but Red Treble wasn’t disgraced here in June, though has run a couple of shockers since. INEVITABLE OUTCOME was doing her winning at Kempton in the spring but she should cope with this surface and will probably have benefited from a break. The four-year-old Serenading has also travelled up from Newmarket and is tried in blinkers but the handicapper may have reeled in Eye Smiling. Knightcap makes her all-weather debut.
