Verdict
Frolic steps up in trip on her reappearance and could go well and Harvest Day landed a double over 7f before beaten over 1m2f at Beverley. Autumn Leaves is one of several handicapping for the first time and ended last year with a victory at Salisbury. She’s preferred to the returning Melodies but Golden Iris was runner-up in novice company at Chepstow recently and could figure. A winner at Kempton, FILLE DE REVE was aimed high on her comeback but struggled in the Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury. This faster ground should suit and Ed Walker’s filly will be more at home at this level.
