Verdict

SNOW FAIRY looks an improving filly and is taken to follow up on her maiden win at Lingfield last month while both Exotic Beauty and Fleeting Echo have futures and are worthy of respect. The selection ran with credit on her debut when finishing third of thirteen in an above average maiden at Newbury. She benefited from that experience to get her head in front at the second time of asking and although she has been rated 90 by the handicapper she looks good enough to score off that mark before progressing through the ranks. Exotic Beauty has improved with race experience and she got her head in front third time of asking at Bath last time out. She was by far and away the best horse in the race that day but this is a big step up in grade and it remains to be seen whether she is good enough to win off her official rating of 85. Fleeting Echo broke her maiden tag at Kempton in June and won a handicap at Lingfield last time out. She is however ten pounds higher in the weights, which will make life tough, but with the Hannon stable in such good form of late she still warrants respect. This is a good looking Nursery in which we will return to Snow Fairy as the winner.
