Verdict
Broadhaven Honey won at Chepstow before struggling in heavy going at Goodwood behind Firenze Rosa. The latter has been beaten since and Dr Doro could only manage third last time raised 4lb for winning at Ascot in June. Staffa has been thereabouts recently but has only won on the all-weather so far and the unexposed SKY GYPSY recorded her only win to date at Wolverhampton. That was back in April and with a recent reappearance at Chelmsford under her belt, she looks capable of scoring off her current mark and gets the nod.
