In depth
Verdict
Champagne Lilly was second racing off this mark at Huntingdon but still beaten 10 lengths. SIENNA ROYALE has only gone up 4lb for winning at Fontwell but is still well treated on a close second on this quicker surface at Exeter in the autumn and she is worth another try over this longer trip. The maidens Passing Shadow and Arcadian Pearl also warrant a mention as both are eased in grade while Dreamsundermyfeet attracted market support on his handicap debut at Doncaster in January and is probably capable of better.
