In depth
Verdict
FESTIVE LOVE, a daughter of Frankel, was well supported on her debut at Kempton nine days ago but couldn't quite get to No Nay Bella over slightly shorter than this. If she takes to the surface, she looks the one to beat. Distant Goddess made her debut on the track last month and produced an eye-catching run, staying on nicely with Nearly Perfection, Dima and Vega's Angel reasonably close up behind. The Godolphin newcomer Beautiful Illusion, a daughter of Shamardal, is one to keep an eye on.
