        Verdict

        IMPRESSIVE VICTORY was placed in both starts last term and may be good enough on her return in a distinctly modest maiden. She is preferred to the other Godolphin representative Markstein, who has yet to threaten. Tafahom is another in need of improvement and the remainder have also struggled to get involved so far but the newcomer Secret Convoy is out of a prolific mare and wouldn't have to be anything special to make his presence felt.
