      In depth

      Verdict

      Figment finished a close-up fourth at Newmarket last time and is weighted to beat Spirited Acclaim on today's terms. Freedom Rock never threatened at Newbury on her debut but the form has worked out well with several winners coming out of the race. BELLA NOUF has her first start since October when not beaten far at Newmarket by Irish Rookie. The latter has subsequently gone very close in the French 1000 Guineas and William Haggas' filly may well be good enough in this. Intimation, Muwalaah and Stella Etoile look best of the rest.
