      Verdict

      Racing over 1m6f in Listed company proved beyond UTILE at Bath last time. Rated 92 having made a winning start at Kempton with a subsequent winner back in second, Hugo Palmer’s filly is clear of these at the weights and the one to beat. Amtiyaz went close at Chelmsford last time and looks next best as the remainder have yet to threaten while the newcomer Going Underground has already been gelded and is fitted with a tongue-tie for his debut.
