In depth
Verdict
WOODLANDSWAY finished third behind subsequent Lowther Stakes fifth Pearl Sea at Goodwood last time and the runner-up has gone in since. That looks good enough form to come out best in this and she gets the nod. Royal Steps suffered a narrow-margin defeat over 7f here last time and will be thereabouts while Give Way Nelson and Best To Better look likely improvers and are preferred to the more exposed Annie Gogh. Grace Hull is related to winning sprinters and should be noted along with fellow newcomers Rangooned and Underwhelm.
