Verdict
BETSEY TROTTER landed a hat-trick during the summer and was beaten only a neck at Ripon the last time she raced in this grade. She can make a winning debut on the all-weather while Chitra is another racing on an artificial surface for the first time on the back of recent placed efforts and can also figure. Better is expected from Lapidary today back over her winning distance but Sundiata has struggled since scoring at Lingfield back in March. Turanga Leela has been thereabouts over 7f here recently but Alicia Darcy’s form has tapered off.
