In depth

Verdict

The Haggas yard can do little wrong at present and NAKED LASS will likely go very close having placed over today’s trip at Windsor last month. She’s closely matched on handicap ratings with Newbury third Gordana but Whisper Not has a bit to find on these terms. Monash should appreciate this longer trip having debuted over a mile at Windsor but Make Some Magic was still beaten a long way by an odds-on favourite when second at Newcastle. Opera Gift is a half-brother to a Listed winner and a newcomer to keep an eye on.
