Verdict
Three-year-olds have a 14lb weight-for-age allowance at this time of year and SEMPRE PRESTO (NAP), a daughter of Nathaniel, will definitely be suited by this big step up in trip. She was quite highly tried in her first season and an opening mark of 67 in handicaps is probably underestimating her abilities. Shes Queen was placed twice in Ireland but has her first run for Amy Murphy. Of the older fillies, Lucy's Law is a consistent sort while Savannah Moon won on her reappearance over course and distance and is effective on today’s quicker surface. Inflexiball showed a bit more last time at Beverley and is probably fairly treated nowadays.
