Verdict
This looks quite competitive, though Roman Mist is a bit more exposed than some and Hurricane Helen will require significant improvement while Canoodled may not have trained on. Run This Way, a winner at Haydock in August, has claims if handling the quicker surface but Evening Song steps up a furlong as she makes her debut on Turf. Divine Magic has also been confined to the all-weather so far but has yet to finish out of the frame. PUY MARY has been showing signs of inexperience but a run at Newmarket 12 days ago should have shaken off any cobwebs and an opening mark of 68 looks workable.
