Verdict
The Marcus Tregoning-trained Noora is surely better than she showed at Goodwood and is given the chance to redeem herself in this ordinary contest by the standards of the course. Miss Procurer has some previous experience of the track and is slowly getting the hang of things. She should pose more of a threat then Anatolian Queen, who looks to be in need of at least an extra furlong and may do better in handicaps on what she has shown so far. Lake Charlotte is an obvious one to keep on the right side of if there are positive indications for her today. Her dam won a handful of races in the States and she would not need to be anything out of the ordinary to play a leading role this afternoon. However, Noora sets the standard on her Chester reappearance effort and is given the benefit of the doubt after failing to justify favoritism last time. It is worth noting that she got very upset in the stalls and failed to do herself justice as a result. So a late play with Noora is advised; on the condition that she does not boil over again. Miss Procurer is going the right way and could be the value alternative if the selection plays up again.
