Verdict
John Gosden has yet another with leading claims given INFERENCE finished clear of the rest when runner-up to odds-on stablemate Fanny Logan at Wetherby on last month’s debut. That looks stronger form than Dear Miriam, Oydis and Promise Of Success have managed so far and she gets the vote. Of the newcomers, Hazaranda looks a threat as a half-sister to Derby winner Harzand among others while Hereby is related to the useful Here And Now and Ord River can include a Listed winner among a host of winning relatives. Monica Sheriff is a half-sister to a winner over today’s trip and is another to note.
