In depth
Verdict
An interesting opener. The shortlist is headed by Miss Takeortwo, who sets the benchmark for the form. She has run well in races that have worked out quite well and should run well again. Victory Flip ran with promise on her Nottingham debut, as did Aegean Mist, ninth in the same race. They are both likely to improve. Kieren Fallon is an interesting booking for Vespasian and the market might prove the best guide. Passa Nova is worth a look as Linda Ramsden's two-year-olds usually have bags of scope but often improve for their debuts. Thisonesfor George has scope and should improve on his Chester debut run.
