      Verdict

      GLITTERING JEWEL will likely start a short-price dropping down to this grade. The Godolphin filly found life tough in a Group 3 in France last time but had gone close in a maiden race over a similar trip to this at Ascot earlier. Xylophone and Princess Ophelia should improve further but the others with experience are hard to fancy and the newcomer Jafetica, a sister to a winner and a half-sister to two others, may prove a bigger threat.
